Abstract

Processes responsible for body weight regulation oppose a negative energy balance and therefore resist weight loss. Following exercise the increased EE may be offset by an increase in EI so as to prevent weight loss and to impair the value of exercise as a treatment of obesity. Other behavioural and physiological compensatory changes can also occur which may account for inter-individual variability in the changes in body weight/composition as a consequence of exercise. This project extends work by this group of researchers under previous BBSRC grants to characterise the inter-individual variability in response to exercise and to identify compensatory processes that oppose attempts to control body weight through exercise.
