Study finds intense exercise may suppress appetite in healthy humans

Exercise Paradox
(wikipedia.org)
The exercise paradox,[1] also known as the workout paradox,[2] refers to the finding that physical activity, while essential for maintaining overall health, does not necessarily lead to significant weight loss or increased calorie expenditure.[3] This paradox challenges the common belief that more exercise equates to more calories burned and consequently, more weight loss.[4]

Bursts of exercise boost cognitive function, neuroscientists find

Decades of exercise research data support the common view that steady workouts over the long haul produce not only physical benefits but also improved brain function. But what about single bursts of exercise? A team of scientists at UC Santa Barbara has taken a closer look.

Walking in short bursts consume 20-60% more energy than walking continuously

A team of pathophysiologists at the University of Milan has found that climbing stairs or walking for short bursts allows people to consume 20% to 60% more energy than if they do the same activity nonstop for the same distance.
