Acute interval running induces greater excess post-exercise oxygen consumption and lipid oxidation than isocaloric continuous running in men with obesity

Randomized Controlled Trial

Human

2024 Apr 22

The study found that a hard, short burst of running burns more calories after the workout than an easier, longer run with the same total effort, which is exactly what the claim says.

Similar Assertions

When young guys with obesity do intense interval running, they burn more total calories than when they do steady, moderate running—even if the workout burns the same calories—because their bodies keep burning extra calories afterward.

For fit guys, a tough but short workout leads to burning more calories after exercise compared to a longer, easier workout—even if both burn the same total calories. That’s because intense workouts keep your metabolism revved up longer.
