From the third article: When one actually examines the energy cost or calories burned during the post-exercise period it is relatively small. Some researchers have commented that the post-exercise effect is sufficiently small that it does not have a major role in the control of weight loss. I.e., the post exercise increase in fat consumption really doesn't matter that much.
As fer Ambrose's comments... To a large extent, the rate of exercise you should be doing really depends on what your maximum oxygen uptake rate is up to. If you can keep a high rate of actually totally aerobic activity going for a long time, then it's all good. The point is aerobic not anaerobic. Anaerobic makes lactic acid, aerobic does not. The limiting factor on that is your circulatory system and breathing capacity.
As for circuit... It seems like a good idea to me, as per the articles, it'll bump up your endurance more than normal training. And endurance is yet another limiting factor on the rate of exercise you can do without risking metabolic crash...
