More Calories Burned in Less Time

Purely looking at time efficiency, fast running and sprints are much quicker to do to burm calories. You can burn around 60 calories a minute sprinting and a little less at a fast run. Comparatively, you burn about 8 calories a minute during a slow jog- and that's on the higher side compared to people that run more often and have a more effective running economy (and other physiological adaptations) that allows then to conserve more calories because they long distance run often. Sprinting is a much better way to maintain muscle mass in upper and lower body as well due to faster twitch muscle fibers being active. Sprinting (HIIT) has a longer metabolic enhancement effect as well so your body will be burning more calories for longer, to put is simply.
