OK, Smart Guy, where in these articles does it support the assertion that swimming is done at a lower body temperature which causes less fat burn AND that swimmers tend to overeat as a result. I haven't seen an article that supports the notion of body temperature and fat burning. However, maybe this has been proven.
And, it's not exactly new information that different sports burn calories at different rates based on exertion level.
This whole body temp thing is silly. What if you run on a 40 degree day versus swimming at the Y in an 87 degree pool? I don't get it. Teach me, Mr. Miyagi.
