Yes I'm laughing my aZZ off.
Bro, cardio doesn't burn muscle!
I don't know why people would dare to argue with a guy that wears his sunglasses in the bar. Silly, silly people.
i have to wonder if you got my meaning
I think his sunglasses rustled your jimmies lol.0 -
He should get his personal trainer and nutrition license. Rooby roooooo!0

Have to love the people who jump in without citing any sources. Especially the ones who write "f---k" and "lol" in an attempt to add legitimacy to their point of view
And scooby qualifies as a legit "source"

Another guy who can't seem to follow a link. Spend more time with the books, bro:

Nice press release bro, where's the study?
Did you even look?

PURPOSE
Aim of the study is the exact quantification of body composition (whole body, body fat, visceral fat and muscle volume) while a transcontinental ultramarathon race in a longitudinal follow-up setting.
METHOD AND MATERIALS
TransEuropeFootRace 2009.04.19-06.21 from South-Italy to North Cape (4.500 km) over 64 days (60-90 km per stage) was accompanied with a mobile MRI (Avanto 1,5T, Siemens) on a Truck-Trailer (39 tons) from stage to stage through whole Europe through 6 countries. While the race each of 21 endurance runner (19 m , 2 w) got 6 whole body MRI scan s (interval: 1000 km resp. 13 days); T1-TSE tra (echo train 7), slice 10mm, 5 slices/seq., 16 sequences, 12 sec breathhold. Postprocessing of the images was performed on a computer applying a home-written segmentation program based on Matlab (Mathworks, Inc.). The following volume parameters [l] were measured: whole body (BV), body fat (BF), visceral fat (VF), abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT), fat of upper resp. lower extremities (FUE, FLE), skeletal muscle upper leg and lower leg (SMV-UL, SMV-LL).
RESULTS
Volume changes: BV after whole race -4% (SD 2,5-5,8%), mainly in the first 900 km. BF after whole race -30% (SD 9-15%), after first 2000 km -26%. Non visceral fat after whole race -34% (SD 8-14 %). VF after whole race -19%, initial loss after 100 km -12%. SCAT after 40 stages (3000 km ) -35% (SD 8-12%), afterwards nearly stable. FUE resp FLE after whole race -22% resp. -37%. Reduction of mean FLE-volume was seen continuously stage by stage. Loss of muscle volume in the whole leg after the race 7% (SD: 4-11 %), nearly equal for SMV-UL or -LL.
CONCLUSION
Due to the exceptional setting of this study, unique longitudinal data regarding body muscle and body fat tissue in a multistage endurance run over 10 weeks could be generated. We found muscle mass catabolism also in the exposed muscles of the leg. This occurs in every subject. Over all nearly 34% of nonvisceral body fat has been gone after the race. But there was nearly 20% of visceral fat loss, also. Adjustment of these MRI-findings with biometrical data and laboratory will present further details regarding tissue metabolism and energy balance while running through a continent without any daily rest.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE/APPLICATION
New and detailed findings where generated in the field of sports medicine regarding energy and body balance in endurance running.0 -

Yes, it does. Although a high-protein diet and an intake of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) during intense aerobic exercise may be a defense against losing muscle, it is not perfect. When your heart rate is above 65% its maximum, particularly for an extended period of time, your body has to find extra fuel somewhere. These additional sources are fat deposits and muscles - which is why having protein, BCAAs, and other amino acids, such as glutamine, before, during, and after extended / intense training helps ensure minimum muscle loss.0

Cardio does not burn muscle mass...if you eat right and get some resistance training in too.0

It's pretty hilarious to see how so many regular MFPers make assumptions and jump to conclusions. You people are a riot!
I, for one, actually read the links provided, and it doesn't necessarily contradict anything. People are arguing simply because they are choosing to make communication a one-way only street. They just want to look at the title and not bother with the details. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hey don't expect me to have a wide variety of knowledge and experience, that is sexist!0 -
These discussions remind me of he good ole hilly billy hick town hall meetings and not because of what the OP posted. Is because people come here to rake the guy apart, and crucify him to death. Pretty hilarious to read all these comments. This is what I call the joy and spirit of this website. Let's pee on the thread starter, lets get in line! Yes let's go guys, bring some more of this!0

As a good ole hilly billy hick, I find this offensive.0 -

Pee? POOP OR GTFO!
There is one exemption for this however! I was never aware that wearing sunglasses in a bar disqualifies you to give advice.

In that case I offer my apologies. To be fair, I only did mention the meetings themselves, not the hill billies.0 -

That's what some dude wearing sunglasses in a bar told me0 -
Do you have anything intelligent to offer the debate, or do you just like to insult people?
Class act, buddy.0 -

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm old school and don't stay up-to-date on all the lingo. 0
