It discusses a plateauing effect of calorie expenditure from physical activity. This being their key chart: https://breddydotorg.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/steps-and-calories-burned-relationship.png<br /><br />The theory: https://breddydotorg.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/additive-vs-constrained-hypothesis-calories-burned.png<br /><br />The gist being an apparent compensatory effect over a certain threshold. Where if you're burning a ton of calories from physical activity, the body will lessen calorie expenditure elsewhere to try and balance out. Think female endurance athlete who has amenorrhea as a form of lessening calorie demand. (This has been found regardless of calorie intake.)<br /><br />It's a very interesting finding and theory, because it provides rationale for why exercise provides other health benefits, like less inflammation. Where perhaps the body will only expend so many calories. If enough are on exercise, then it won't expend calories on e.g. inflammation. <br /><br />Link to the paper: http://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(15)01577-8<br /><br />(Wrote about it myself too: https://b-reddy.org/2016/03/21/new-insights-as-to-why-you-cant-avoid-exercising/ )<br /><br />Enjoyed your conversation on StarTalk. <br /><br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5638300827372767452.post-41627025836532103132017-07-25T09:51:28.057-04:002017-07-25T09:51:28.057-04:00As usual, I enjoyed reading your posts about the T...As usual, I enjoyed reading your posts about the Tour de France. Looks like you had another good LC student working with you on this project. Great to see how well you did, and especially nice that you finished with the best prediction!Sweetea888https://www.blogger.com/profile/08903675314499466052noreply@blogger.com
