Taking a break in the middle of your workout may metabolize more fat than exercising without stopping, according to a recent study in Japan. Researchers conducted the first known study to compare these two exercise methods—exercising continually in one long bout versus breaking up the same workout with a rest period. The findings could change the way we approach exercise.

The Repeated trial showed a greater amount of lipolysis (fat breakdown) than did the Single trial. This Repeated trial also had a pronounced increase in free fatty acids and glycerol (chemical compounds that are released when stored fat is used) concentrations in the final 15 minutes of exercise, whereas these concentrations only progressively increased throughout the Single trial. Also, the second half of the Repeated trial showed a significantly greater epinephrine response while also having a rapid decrease in insulin concentration as a result of lower plasma glucose. This combination of high epinephrine and low insulin concentration may have also increased the lipolysis. There was also enhanced fat oxidation in the recovery period of the Repeated trial than in the Single trial, but this result may be because the free fatty acids concentration was already high before the recovery period.

This was interesting to read about, though not very surprising to me.

Personally I'm glad such studies are done, since they will help end the obesity epidemic
in not only America, but the starting epidemics in the EU and Japan.

This is good news for me, as that's how I exercise as it is, several bouts of exercise throughout
the day taking quick breaks between whichever exercises I am doing at the time
(like jumping-jacks, sit-ups or push-ups), that's also the reason it does'nt surprise me.
