With that said, it is arguably poorly worded in at least one place:
"The most active people hit a plateau and did not burn any more calories than their less-active peers."
I guess I can see how, in this quick scroll and read era we live it, someone could take that to mean that at some point you stop burning calories when you exercise. But reading the article as a whole, that is not what is being suggested.
To be fair, I just read Inpd's summary and then quick scrolled through the article.
But as I said after, I take any report on scientific research in the mainstream media as being either grossly misinterpreted or wrong. These articles don't really deserve my attention, nor can I be bothered to try to read between the lines to figure out what they really mean.
If I was really bothered about this research, I'd read whatever paper they had published.
The science may be great. Science reporting on the whole, sucks.
