The effect of the sudden transfer into the sprint mode gives a ‘shock’ to the body, telling it that it requires more energy than the current rate that is being supplied to the muscles. This sudden energy requirement then comes from the next avalible vacant place which is the belly. So now while you are sprinting, the body goes into a kind of emergency mode where sees it easiest to draw the emergency energy requirment from the belly. Do this excercise or 10 mins to 20 mins per session combined with some good resistance excercise, for instance- sit-ups, and you will see that belly fades in no time.

That’s not true at all. The default sugar levels in the blood (carbohydrates) provide energy for cellular respiration but they last only about 15-20 minutes (if you are running). ONLY after this moment does the body begin to break down fat into carbs/trigs for energy. Thus, running for over 15-20 minutes is a must for fat metabolism. Sprinting uses anaerobic respiration, in which less energy is produced for every molecule of glucose expended because the body requires more energy than the proportional amount of oxygen available for respiration. This results in the formation of lactic acid that causes muscular inflammation (which explains why sprinting causes pain and is unsustainable for longer periods). Fat is only metabolized (in other words broken down into carbs/trigs) when the default blood/sugar levels have been depleted. You cannot just activate fat metabolism without expending the already present carbohydrates in the blood. All “sudden” requirements use anaerobic respiration which still expend carbs (not fat). Fat cannot be used to produce energy directly.

Also, in the case of running, the initial source of fat for metabolism comes from the legs (not the belly). Eventually after depleting all the fats in the legs, the body will start using fat from other parts of the body (including the belly). The best exercise for targeting belly fat is not running, but boxing and dancing (both of which consist of abdominal movements).
