Answer 1

It burns more calories than an aerobic workout.

Reason: Anaerobic activities (sprints, HIIT, heavy resistance) are higher intensity, often burn more calories per minute and produce greater post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). They also build muscle, which raises resting metabolic rate — all of which can increase total energy expenditure.
