There's an interesting book supporting this idea:

Basically measurements of calorie intake and burn rate indicate, that physical activity doesn't appreciably speed up metabolism.

You still should exercise to avoid chronic diseases, but you can't outrun a bad diet.

You can outrun a bad diet IMHO. There's a point in which physical activity outrun the body's willingness to adjust basal metabolism.

However, it is not really practical for most people to use exercises to burn calories. Rather diets are more important and more effective.
