Cardio Does Not Burn Muscle Mass

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.

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.

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.

^This

Yes! I haven't seen THIS thread today... I was getting concerned!

Do heals crit?

gotta spec for crits bro and try to up your crit chance with gears

this must be "bro talk" :huh:

It would actually be lingo used in any type of video game, usually MMOs, that has a "healer class"

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!

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.

Seems to me the general problem with this thread is that it is, in fact, too general. This is definitely not a question of always or never. In most cases you can probably do cardio without burning muscle. In some cases you will burn a little muscle.

So I think everyone should try to take this post more personally. And by that I mean, before you enter into a cardio session, and then maybe again half way through, ask yourself, what are your chances that this cardio will cause my body to dig into muscle?

Someone who's overweight and has recently eaten a big meal, probably doesn't have to worry too much.

Me, a female, at 90 pounds and 11% body fat in a fasted state, probably should worry a little.

Recent studies have shown that middle age men who where sunglasses in a bar and have social media profiles of any caliber with Booger from Revenge as the Nerds not once but twice in their profile pictures are retarded and/or trolls

But bro, Booger Presley was on the main guitar thus contributing to the rockin' rhythm and high tech sound that made several coeds move their bodies down to the ground!

Srsly though, i loled for realz

Hhheeeeeeerrrreeee we go.

< is getting a kick out of being insulted for wearing sunglasses by dudes who count calories and take vanity pictures of themselves in front of mirrors.

If I had actually insulted you, you would know it. Not that it would be hard, but I'm not bothering. And if you notice, both of my hands are in my avi pic. Maybe dem der glasses messin up da view after all
