Still often heard saying that “run very smooth, slightly faster than walking distance, it is best to eliminate body fat.” Not true. The reality is that running is a higher fat intake (and calories) than walking. The myth stems from the fact that at very low settings the preferred energy source for your muscles is fat, but forgets the data of the caloric intake in absolute terms.
Although the percentage of fat consumed is more going slowly, the calories burned are much less than when it runs faster, so that the overall balance is always in favor of the race compared to jogging.
In a study by the University of Quebec showed how a program of aerobic exercise, with changes
intense 90 seconds to 95% of maximum heart rate, burning up to 3.5 times more calories than a program of the same length but with moderate intensity.
