Relations between Body Mass, Energy Intake, and Physical Activity

Caption

Relations between physical activity (PA), body mass, and energy intake. As PA declines below the metabolic tipping point into the 'Sedentary' range, energy intake and energy expenditure become dissociated due to insufficient depletion/repletion cycles, and body mass begins to increase as energy balance becomes positive and insulin sensitivity is lost.
