the absolute degree of fat reduction is higher at the
tness stamina intensity level. The more intensive
the strain is, the lower the proportion of fat is used
for energy, and the higher the absolute amount of
fat consumed.
This does not necessarily mean that the tness
stamina intensity level is better for reducing body
fat, because not only calorie consumption but also
calorie intake has to be considered. After an
intensive training session, the body wants to quickly
replenish its empty carbohydrate stores. If you then
take in more calories than you used, the training has
been wasted. Following training at the basic stamina
level, you will be less hungry than after training at
the tness stamina level, and it will be easier to eat
the right amount of food.
After an intensive strain, the body needs more
time for regeneration. As a result of intensive
stamina training, the body may be too tired for
Muay Thai training the next day. Intensive training
also hampers the immune system and makes you
more susceptible to injury and infection. Training at
the basic stamina level, on the other hand, improves
the immune system, as the body is only slightly
strained.
Conclusion: the best level of intensity to reduce
body fat depends on your performance level and
