Exercise While Fasting: Discover Fasted Cardio Benefits

April 01, 2018 - Admin

People burn about 10 to 15 calories per minute during recreational-level aerobic training. Caloric expenditure remains elevated after exercise— depending on duration and intensity. Japanese researchers found that 24-hour fat burning is greater following exercise on an empty stomach, a method often referred to as fasted cardio, than exercising after a meal. Research subjects exercised for 60 minutes at 50 percent of maximum effort, either after or before a meal. Digestive status had no effect on 24-hour caloric expenditure. Exercise while fasting if you want to burn more fat. (Metabolism, published online)
