The Claim
A single 60-minute session of moderate or vigorous aerobic exercise increases total energy expenditure over six days in overweight adolescent boys aged 11–13, with vigorous exercise resulting in 169 kcal higher cumulative expenditure than control and 78 kcal higher than moderate exercise, despite partial compensatory reductions in spontaneous activity during the following days.
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.
In overweight boys aged 11 to 13, one 60-minute session of vigorous aerobic exercise leads to 169 more kilocalories burned over six days compared to no exercise, and 78 more kilocalories than moderate exercise, even though spontaneous movement decreases slightly afterward.

After intense exercise, the body burns more calories for days because it works harder to restore muscle energy, repair tissue, and cool down, even if the person moves less.
What the research says
1 studyEven though the boys moved a little less after their workout, they still burned more total calories over six days than when they didn’t exercise — and the harder workout burned the most.
