i've dedicated my entire blog to the spread of health, nutrition, and fitness. nutrition is my passion and i want to be able to help people make their lives healthier and happier. everything i post is in hopes of inspiriting and motivating people to get healthy and in shape! this is not a thinsbo blog, rather a fitsbo. i stress how important it is to eat healthy foods in good proportions and i am not a supporter of eating disorders, but i'd offer all the encouragement in the world to help cure one. feel free to ask as many questions you want, and i’ll be happy to spread my vast knowledge on nutrition and fitness/exercise science.
A study published this year in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition & Exercise Metabolism examined the different types of fuel the body uses when running or cycling. Researchers observed that running tended to burn more fat than cycling when performed at the same intensity, but the cause isn’t entirely known. In other studies, scientists speculated that running uses more large muscle groups than cycling; still other data suggest that running recruits more slow-twitch fibers, which tend to burn more fat than the fast-twitch variety used preferentially in cycling.
