Physical activity is any movement of skeletal muscles that results in energy expenditure. Long-term success in weight management depends on both physical activity and dietary modification. Exercise has a pivotal role in weight management, optimising body composition by minimising fat-free mass losses and maximising fat mass loss; and, enhancing metabolic fitness. The amount and type of exercise needed to obtain health-related benefits may differ from that recommended for fitness benefits. Public health messages about exercise have focused on improvements in general health and fitness rather than on weight loss, prevention of weight gain or weight regain. About 2.5 times more exercise than the US Surgeon General's recommendation is needed to maintain energy balance and thus maintain a certain weight. The challenge is to get the exercise prescription right at an individual level.
身体活动是指骨骼肌的任何运动,这种运动都会导致能量消耗。体重管理的长期成功取决于身体活动和饮食调整。运动在体重管理中起着关键作用,通过最大限度地减少去脂体重的流失和最大化脂肪量的减少来优化身体成分;并且,增强代谢健康。获得健康相关益处所需的运动数量和类型可能与为获得健身益处所推荐的不同。关于运动的公共卫生信息一直侧重于改善总体健康和体能,而不是减肥、预防体重增加或体重反弹。要维持能量平衡从而保持一定体重,所需的运动量大约是美国卫生局局长建议量的2.5倍。挑战在于在个体层面制定正确的运动处方。
