I think i'll have to do some googling at some stage to really nut this out but i think it's pretty undispited that running uses more kilojules than most forms of exercise. I know heart rate wise I can swim really hard or do weight training at a hard intensity and not get my heart rate as high as running at a lower percieved exertion.
Also I think a lot of weight training etc - unless you do it in a circuit will make use of breaks between sets etc which would only apply to a few specific types of running workouts.
Surely if your heart rate is relatively high compared to other types of training and the kilojules burnt are also high then even if some fat is burnt you are emptying glycogen stores quite quickly too.
Yeah running in general does burn the most calories....altho depending on the intensity sparring and even swimming do run it quite close.
Like i was saying, glycogen is burned during running activities, but fat is also used as a fuel....that's why more calories are burned in total.
Fat is more calorie dense than carbohydrate (glycogen) so when you are burning fat at a higher rate, you will burn more calories in total.
Just how quickly you empty glycogen stores will also depend on how full they were before you started running. If they are full, around one hour of moderate-high intensity aerobic training will most probably deplete them
I haven't gotten around to doing any research RE running and CHO demands but I've just had another line of thought on this subject -
It seems that a lot of high protein foods are also low GI. So perhaps having more protein at night helps shorten the overnight starvation period and prevent a bit of weigh gain by slowing the digestion of that last meal of the day.
A certain amount of protein might digest to the same number of calories as a certain amount of carbohydrates but because the GI is lower you've still got more time to burn it off.
Also protein is usually more satiating so you're less likely to want to snack late at night which is of course bad.
I'm still thinking higher resistance exercises (like weights) are going to break down muscle fibres more because the aim of those workouts is to build muscles more and you must break muscle fibres and re-heal them to achieve that.
Any exercise that breaks down more muscle fibres requires more amino acids (subunits of protein) to repair the body and you want to do that ASAP so I still think it makes sense to weight train and eat a higher proportion of your protein at night.
