Миф о том как можно сбросить вес с помощью бега

[Srg Clock]

Мой персональный тренер по фитнесу прислал мне следующий емэйл:

It still surprises me how people believe a “fat-burning workout” consists of mindless minutes of cardio exercise.
Take a look at the attached research article… it may (or may not) surprise you.

Wayne Westcott, Ph.D. conducted a study in which 72 over weight individuals participated in an eight week exercise program. The participants were placed in two groups. The first group performed 30 minutes of endurance exercise on a stationary cycle. The second group performed only 15 minutes of exercise on the stationary cycle plus an additional 15 minutes on weight resistant exercises. At the conclusion of the study, the endurance only" group lost a total of 3.5 lbs.; 3 lbs. of which was fat and a half pound was muscle loss. On the other hand, the "endurance and weight resistive" group lost 8 lbs. with an actual fat loss of 10 lbs. and an increase of 2 lbs. of lean body weight.

Вывод прост: надо качатся и затем делать умеренное кардио. Те кто делает только кардио теряют мышечную массу, а потеря веса незначительна.
