Explain the connection between exercise and weight management.
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary; maintenance of exercise appears to be the best predictor of long-term maintenance of weight loss. A 1-pound weight gain per year represents a simple energy surplus of less than 10 calories per day. Exercise maintains lean tissue, enhances rate of weight loss, and is vital in maintaining weight loss. Individuals who completely stop physical activity regain almost 100 percent of the weight within 18 months of discontinuing the weight loss program. It is important to combine aerobic and strength training activities. An additional pound of muscle tissue raises the basal metabolic rate in the range of 6 to 35 calories per day. Low intensity and high intensity activities both have benefits when it comes to weight management. Your intensity should be determined by your physical fitness level at the time of the activity.
