From a variety of sources I have read, this is true but is reported to only be about 7-8 kcal/hr. I suppose that means 20-30 kcal per day at most and is negligible compared the the calories burned by the exercise that causes the increase. However, I suppose it adds up over time just like doing small things that increase NEAT.
