[quote=Anonymous]Reasons why he's still fat with swimming: "If you want to lose weight, you're better off walking around a pool than swimming in it," according to Sydney exercise physiologist and personal trainer Andrew Cate. "That's obviously a bit extreme, but it does make the point. From a fat-loss perspective, swimming has some real negatives compared to other forms of exercise." Cool water and appetite Professor Cox believes it's the cool environment in the pool (26 degrees Celsius) that may explain, at least in part, why the swimmers in her study had the edge when it came to weight loss. Paradoxically, cool water may also explain why many swimmers find fat hard to budge. It comes down to the impact of this cool environment on two aspects of the body in the post-swim period: the swimmer's appetite (which affects how much they eat afterwards) and the energy the swimmer expends to restore their normal body temperature.[/quote]
