The Claim
Endurance-trained men exhibit higher exercise-induced lipolysis in subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue during moderate-intensity cycling compared to untrained men, as evidenced by greater increases in extracellular glycerol concentration, despite similar plasma catecholamine and insulin responses, suggesting training enhances fat mobilization independently of hormonal changes.
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.
Men who regularly train for endurance sports show greater fat breakdown in abdominal fat tissue during moderate cycling than untrained men, measured by higher glycerol levels, even when hormone levels like adrenaline and insulin are similar.

What the research says
1 studyTrained athletes burn more fat during exercise than untrained people, even when their stress hormones are the same—because their fat cells become better at breaking down fat on their own. It's like their fat cells learn to ignore signals that normally slow down fat burning.
