Apart from the usual science reporting calamity (sounds too much like spot reduction), can someone explain this study to me? You have two sets of training regimen, an then your conclusion is that one set decreases your fat levels more because it burns more calories. I can't find the study or even a decent abstract, just a small blurb at the university's site[1], but that looks like a huge case of Doctor Obvious to me. What's the common factor? Did both exercise regimens take the same time, so you'll get more calories/minute from aerobic exercise? That would make sense, but just comparing two different sets is like saying that soccer is healthier than basketball, if you partake in one match per week. Yes, there's a difference in the sports themselves, but the bigger one is probably that soccer takes 90 minutes while basketball is 40 (right?).
