What we should all be looking for here is to find the passage that we ''can'' include without argument--merely reverting edits isn't going to get us anywhere. In particulary, let's avoid accusations of lying or vandalism. [[User:Demi|Demi]] ^{[[User_talk:Demi|T]]}/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Demi|C]]</sup> 07:24, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)

:I agree with [[User:Demi|Demi]]. In addition, I think it's easier to explain the general principles involved without trying to present specific numbers, like the 51-127 data. Those figures could be included in a subsequent paragraph if adding an example is thought to be useful.

:Here's my suggestion:

::Experiments also show that [[anaerobic exercise]] increases EPOC more than [[aerobic exercise]] does. For exercise regimens of comparable duration and intensity, aerobic exercise burns more [[calorie]]s during the exercise itself, but the difference is partly offset by the higher increase in caloric expenditure that occurs during the EPOC phase after anaerobic exercise. Anaerobic exercise was also found in one study to result in greater loss of [[adipose tissue|subcutaneous fat]], even though the subjects expended fewer than half as many calories. [http://www.exrx.net/FatLoss/HIITvsET.html] Whether this result was caused by the EPOC effect has not been established.

:Some of the prior disagreement seems to have been caused by use of the term "energy". [[User:Blair P. Houghton|Blair P. Houghton]] refers to "total energy use (as measured by fat loss)", while [[User:Taxman|Taxman]] is talking about calories. To avert any confusion to the reader, let's avoid the term "energy" and just present the information about fat loss and calorie expenditure. [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 07:49, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
