That is so true!!! Everyone should check out this article http://suppversity.blogspot.com/2011...-increase.html
cliffs:
Muscle stem cell pools (aka satellite cells) replenish during high intensity cardio. This graphic shows the repair process (note one of the primary site of androgen receptors is on activated satellite cells). When the satellite cells repairs the muscle cell, it allows it to be larger and house more motor units- hypertrophy!
High intensity vs low intensity cardio as far as how it affects satellite cell counts:
Changes (compared to untrained control) in number of myonuclei and satellite cells per muscle fiber (data calculate base on Naito. 2011)
30 minutes a day?! what's next run a marathon ? I'd look like an Ethiopian with that much cardio!

I do about 10 minutes of hard basketball in between sets each lift day. I find if I do 30min+ 3x a week my ankles and knees start hurting and I get worse at bball.
I have heard as far as satellite cell replenishment, its about intensity, not duration. For burning fat, I would go with light intensity long duration (as a higher % of calories burned comes from fat). Plus its easier on the body.
Cardio is a must and great for your general health & heart health... I do believe cardio is a bit "overrated" I think most people do their (30 min) of a traditional form of cardio liek the threadmill, and they don't really change it... and Your body is very smart and it adapts to whatever form of exercise you throw at it.... including cardio, so I think it's more important to keep your body challanged & to change up your cardio routine.. I'm a big fan of HIIT cardio, I usually do it on my off days.. and on training days I like doing cuircuits, it keeps my heart rate up & allows me to change the excercises & keeps my body in the "fat burning zone".. I don't really do traditional cardio or excessive cardio, I think if u have your diet dialed in u don't need to go crazy with cardio..
and btw, u do burn more calories by lifting than by doing cardio.

Forget living a long healthy life! I want to live a short, vein busting, balls to the wall, shirt stretching life. Die young and LARGE!!! Oh wait, youngs already past. How bout middle aged??
Racquetball for me.....I hate treadmills!
Well....
According to me 30-45 minutes a day for 4-5 days per week is pretty standard for lowering BF%.
