Intensity vs Volume of exercise

Here's another great small thing from Maeda et al (2005), which plays right into the whole point of my PhD research.

They found significant correlations between basal metabolic rate and intensity of weekly physical activity, but no significant correlation between basal metabolic rate and volume of weekly physical activity. This is more evidence to support that it's better to be short and sharp than long and drawn out. The tortoise does not win the health race.
