I don't know about all that, but I've also heard that post resistance cardio does have a continuing fat loss effect since you are keeping the metabolism boosted high for a longer period. Also, I think most experts agree that cardio does burn more WHILE YOU ARE PERFORMING IT as opposed to resistance, but resistance exercise burns more over the long haul due to effect of EPOC.
