The Claim
Following a single vigorous exercise session expending 5271 kcal, cumulative energy expenditure over six days is significantly higher than following a control session expending 5102 kcal in overweight adolescent boys, despite reductions in spontaneous activity from day 2 onward.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
After one intense workout that burns 5271 kilocalories, the total energy burned over six days is higher than after a control session that burns 5102 kilocalories in overweight adolescent boys, even though their daily movement decreases starting on day two.
See the scientific wording
The cumulative energy expenditure over six days after a single vigorous exercise session (5271 kcal) remains significantly higher than after a control session (5102 kcal) in overweight adolescent boys, despite daily reductions in spontaneous activity from day 2 onward.
After a very intense workout, the body keeps burning extra calories for days because it is repairing damaged muscle and tissue, and its internal temperature stays slightly higher as it works to restore balance.
What the research says
1 studyEven though these boys moved less after their big workout, they still burned more total calories over the next six days than when they didn’t exercise at all. The hard workout kept their bodies burning extra energy, even when they were being lazy afterward.
