Description for Energy Balance in Motion
Paperback. This book discusses such questions as whether physical activity is affected by over and under-eating, is intake affected by an increase or a decrease in physical activity, and does overweight affect physical activity? Offers insight based on case studies. Series: SpringerBriefs in Physiology. Num Pages: 124 pages, 54 black & white illustrations, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: MBGR; MFG; MMS; PSB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 236 x 157 x 8. Weight in Grams: 212.
Energy balance can be maintained by adapting energy intake to changes in energy expenditure and vice versa, where short-term changes in energy expenditure are mainly caused by physical activity. Questions are whether physical activity is affected by over and under-eating, is intake affected by an increase or a decrease in physical activity, and does overweight affect physical activity? Presented evidence is largely based on studies where physical activity is quantified with doubly labeled water. Overeating does not affect physical activity while under-eating decreases habitual or voluntary physical activity. Thus, it is easier to gain weight than to lose weight. An ... Read more
