Sedentary behavior refers to certain activities in a reclining, seated, or lying position
requiring very low energy expenditure. It has been suggested to be distinct from physical …

Fast foods are frequently linked to the epidemic of obesity, but there has been very little
scientific appraisal of a possible causal role. Here we review a series of studies …

The increasing prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities reflects the interaction of genes
that favor the storage of excess energy as fat with an environment that provides ad libitum …

The intent of this paper is to address the obesity epidemic, which is a term used to describe
the sudden and rapid increase in obesity rates that began in the 1980s and continues …

Objective: To identify and characterize the individual variability in compensation for exercise-
induced changes in energy expenditure (EE). Design: Twelve-week exercise intervention …

Background: Previous studies suggest that appetite may be dysregulated at low levels of
activity, creating an energy imbalance that results in weight gain. Objective: The aim was to …

An activity‐induced increase in energy expenditure theoretically disturbs energy balance
(EB) by creating an acute energy deficit. Compensatory responses could influence the …

In this review, we discuss the role of inactivity and exercise on appetite regulation, both in
the short and long term, and the potential mechanisms involved. A better short-term appetite …

Physical activity has the potential to modulate appetite control by improving the sensitivity of
the physiological satiety signalling system, by adjusting macronutrient preferences or food …

The current obesogenic environment promotes physical inactivity and food consumption in
excess of energy requirements, two important modifiable risk factors influencing energy …
