An hour of work to burn 295 Calories. (The metabolic rates of the control group vs. exercisers is not provided in the article.)Twelve volunteers were fed the same breakfast...An hour later, half of them worked out for an hour on an exercise bike while the other half sat quietly...
Unsurprisingly, people who exercised burned more calories than those who sat quietly, 492 kcal compared to 197 kcal.
This is the equivalent of drinking two sodas without sugar instead of two with sugar and taking ZERO time to do it.
The news worsens.
Time spent - 1 hour (not including showering, clothes changing, etc.). Net savings in Calories - 144.And when given the chance to eat afterwards, people who had exercised tended to eat more, 913 kcal versus to 762 kcal.
However, when the amount of energy burned during exercise was taken into account, the sporty people took in fewer calories overall - 421 kcal compared to 565 kcal for the inactive group.
About a one soda pop difference.
Dr Ian Campbell, medical director of the charity Weight Concern, said: "This is an interesting study. Patients often report that they feel increased hunger and eat more after exercise.
"What this study shows is that, although total calorific intake is greater, the net result, because of the exercise taken, is a reduction in the net energy balance.
"Dieting is never easy. Increased physical activity is an essential part of any weight management programme, not just to expend more calories but also, as we see here, to help control our appetite too."
Dr John McAvoy, a GP with a special interest in obesity, said the study was a "significant contribution to understanding the complex mechanisms of energy balance".
The study shows that the British suffer from brain decay in addition to tooth decay.
Makes me glad not to be a Colonist anymore.
