no. its simple physics. you are doing the same amount of work either way. The only difference in efficiency would be if the freewheel was less mechanically efficient than the cog, by say having more friction between it and the chain. Which it doesn't. and anything like that would be negligible and probably not measurable.

unless its powered by something other than you, a bike will never push you.
