The Truth About Endurance Sports and Weight Loss: Debunking Traditional Wisdom

Generations of those wanting to lose weight have therefore declared endurance sports to be their means of choice. And in fact, sport with a high calorie consumption was considered the best, even the only effective way to get rid of kilos, even among experts. But a recent study is now doing away with this traditional wisdom.
