I don't think the study posted above sounds all that great. They talk about cycling and burning 400 calories... But saying someone didn't do their research with a wiki follow up  |
I'm not going to go find a bunch of studies done over the past 2-3 years showing that HIIT training makes your body burn up to 20% more calories for a certain time period AFTER exercising.
Ever checked your HR about 30 min after a hockey game? This winter I made a point of checking mine after every game, and it was usually around 140 for almost an hour after exercising. Which equals a lot of calories burned.

"After vigorous exercise, we've seen caloric expenditure increase for up to 48 hours," says exercise physiologist Tom R. Thomas, Ph.D., director of the exercise physiology program at the University of Missouri in Columbia. The longer and harder you work out, the greater the post-workout metabolism increase and the longer it lasts. Subjects in Thomas' research burned 600-700 calories during one hour of running at about 80 percent of their maximum heart rate. During the next 48 hours, they burned about 15 percent more calories -- 90-105 extra -- than they otherwise would have. About 75 percent of the post-workout metabolism increase occurs in the first 1 2 hours after exercise, according to Thomas.
