For the purpose of weight loss, physical
activity can reduce body fat and is more
beneficial in combination with reduced
intake of calories.
Physical activity also helps in the
maintenance and control of weight.
The following are some variables when
physical activity and calorie expenditure
is considered:
time: the amount of time spent on physical
activity affects the amount of calories
that will be expended. For example,
walking for 45 minutes will burn more
calories than walking for 20 minutes.
Weight: the body weight of a person doing
the physical activity also impacts the
amount of calories used. For example, a
250-pound person will expend more energy
walking for 30 minutes than a 185-pound
person.
Pace: the rate at which a person performs
the physical activity will also affect the
amount of calories used. For example,
walking 3 miles per hour will burn more
calories than walking 1.5 miles per hour.
