Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man develops during phylogenesis and ontogenesis as an active creature and his most striking external manifestations include physical activity. From this ensue efforts to investigate the human organism with regard to its functional diagnosis mainly during activity, in relation to the level of that physical activity. The amount and qualitative aspect of physical activity is subject to some laws associated with the developmental stage, type of higher nervous activity, health, nutritional status, external environment inc!. social position, profession, hobbies, etc.; thus it is also one of the important ecological factors. During the period before the onset of technical civilization physical fitness and performance were essential prerequisites for survival and successful existence. At present and from the aspect of the perspective development of our civilization the importance of physical fitness is pushed into the background; nevertheless adequate physical activity level is even today an important prerequisite for normal function of the organism as a whole.
Download or read book Obesity and Energy Metabolism written by National Institutes of Health (U.S.) and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A comprehensive yet uncomplicated discussion of obesity is presented for the average adult as part of a series called "Medicine for the Layman." Although the specific causes of obesity are unknown, many factors, such as genetics and environment, influence the condition. More is known about the health consequences of obesity in terms of increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and emotional stress. Obesity is defined; the functions of the human body which help determine the numbers and size of fat cells in adipose tissue (hypertrophic and hyperplastic obesity) are described. The balance of caloric intake and energy expenditure for each individual is emphasized. Further research needs are identified. The information is reinforced by a question and answer section and color cartoons.

Download or read book Energy metabolism written by Patrick Christian Even and published by Frontiers E-books. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy metabolism is central to life and altered energy expenditure (EE) is often cited as a central mechanism responsible for development of the obese phenotype. Resting EE, EE of physical activity, cold induced thermogenesis and thermic effect of feeding add to produce total EE but can also affect each other. It is thus very important that each component be well measured. Measuring energy expenditure by indirect calorimetry is extremely simple in theory but the practice if far more difficult. Taking into account temperature in small sized animals, measuring accurately the effect of activity on EE, correcting EE for body size body composition, age sex etc… add difficulties in producing reliable data. The goal of this Research Topic was to call for the practical experience of main investigators trained to practice calorimetry in order to get their feedback and the way they deal with the various and specific problems of humans and animal calorimetry. The goal is to share the questions/solutions experienced by the contributors to inititate a “guide of the good practices” that can be periodically updated and used by all those who are and will be interested in measuring energy metabolism from the 20g mouse to the human and large farm animals.

Download or read book Energy Balance in Motion written by Klaas R. Westerterp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 exercise induced increase in energy requirement is compensated by intake while a change to a more sedentary routine does not induce an equivalent reduction of intake and generally results in weight gain. Overweight and obese subjects have similar activity energy expenditures than lean people despite they move less. There are two options to reverse the general population trend for an increasing body weight, reducing intake or increasing physical activity. Based on the results presented, eating less is most effective for preventing weight gain, despite a potential negative effect on physical activity when reaching a negative energy balance.
Download or read book Regulation of Body Weight written by Claude Bouchard and published by . This book was released on 1996-06-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fact that about 30-40% of the adults in the Western world are overweight or obese testifies to the frequency of the disturbances in body weight regulation. Scientists have established that caloric intake, macronutrient composition of the diet, basal and resting metabolic rate, thermic response to food, energy expenditure associated with movement and physical activity, and preferential storage of the surplus of calories as fat or lean tissues are critical determinants of energy balance and body weight. While much has been learned, the field is poised for major advances with the advent of a variety of imaging techniques, progress in quantitative and molecular genetics, use of transgenic rodent models and of breeding experiments with informative inbred strains, availability of stable isotopes for metabolic and behavioral studies, and a growing number of useful experimental animal and human models. This volume takes an integrative approach to obesity. It is structured around four major topics: (1) the animal and human models currently available for the study of body weight regulation with their strengths and limitations, (2) the molecular and genetic basis of the regulation of body weight, (3) the metabolic and physiological mechanisms involved, and (4) the behavioral and social determinants. The 13 background papers provide a critical overview of the present knowledge base while the group reports summarize the extensive deliberations of 38 international experts. Particular emphasis has been given to promising research areas and on the advances needed to ensure a better understanding of the biological and behavioral mechanisms of the regulation of body weight, with a particular emphasis on overweight and obesity.

This book was released on 2009-06-14 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes became the major global health problem. The peculiarities of energy metabolism in the development of both these conditions are of particular interest. This book, therefore, provides an overview of the following aspects: body composition assessment using laboratory techniques and bedside methods, estimation of resting energy expenditure, methods for the evaluation of energy intake, assessment of psychological factors influence on eating behavior. All these aspects are covered in the context of obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome thus, will help to understand the importance of changes in resting metabolic rate possibly preceding the development of type 2 diabetes; explain the advantages and limitations of bedside body composition assessment methods and suggest their utilisation in clinical practice; reveal new aspect of regional body fat distribution, influencing the precision of different body composition measuring techniques; show novel relations of psychological factors influence on eating behaviour in type 2 diabetes and analyse the compliance to the dietary advice and treatment for weight loss.
