What do you think burns more body fat?

I don't get it. Of course you need to lose weight in order to lose body fat and the way to do that is by exercising(plus diet). Any form of exercise burns fat, not just running. I know that both, long distance swimming and sprint training, burn fat. My question was which of the two do you think burns more fat if you train each for an hour for example. Which burns more calories, a sprint workout or a distance workout? It depends. It depends on the workout and on how well you do it. I think it is possible to create a sprint workout and a distance workout, swim each to the best of your ability, and they would burn about the same calories. If you finish your main set and you can barely move, it shouldn't matter if you did sprint or distance, the calories needed to get to that point are about the same. This should be true from about 2:1 work to rest down to zero rest distance set. High rest sets and long and slow sets where you could go faster but just don't burn less calories. The key is swimming at your max, and I suspect it is easier for most people to swim one style or the other closer to their max than the other. If you find that you can't push yourself to put 100% into each sprint, or you find yourself too bored to go fast during anything longer than a 100, you have your answer as to which would be best.
