Aerobic vs. Anaerobic for fat loss
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). You’ve probably heard people at the gym talking about ‘the after-burn’ this refers to the number of calories expended (above resting values) after an exercise bout. This can last for up to 48 hours!
EPOC, or after burn, represents the oxygen consumption the body uses to return to its pre-exercise state.
The physiological mechanisms responsible for increased metabolism following exercise include oxygen replenishment, phosphagen (ATP-PC) resynthisis, the removal of lactic acid, and increased blood circulation and body temperature.
Your body can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 48 hours to fully recover to a resting state. Studies have found that the duration of EPOC, or after burn, depends on the intensity and duration of exercise.
Higher intensity = longer recovery
Now ask the question, high intensity training or long steady aerobic training for fat loss results.
