Running, not weights, burns fat

If you want to burn fat, it's better to hit the treadmill than the weight room, a new study suggests. The results show aerobic workouts are better than resistance training for reducing fat mass. And a workout that combines the two activities — lifting weights in addition to running — is no better at burning fat than running alone, the researchers said. The findings contradict the idea that resistance training can help with weight and fat loss by improving metabolism, the researchers said. But the findings don't mean that resistance training is not useful. The study found that resistance training was better at increasing lean body mass than aerobic training alone. And for older adults who are experiencing muscle loss, resistance training is beneficial, the researchers said. But for young, healthy adults who want to lose weight, aerobic training may be the way to go.

| 0.120678 | "No one type of exercise will be best for every health benefit," said study researcher Leslie Willis, an exercise physiologist at Duke. "However, it might be time to reconsider the conventional wisdom that resistance training alone can induce changes in body mass or fat mass due to an increase in metabolism, as our study found no change." |

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
