Non-exercise activity thermogenesis is an extremely important, under-discussed and underappreciated concept, both from a weight management and health perspective. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis is just a fancy term for all movement outside of formal exercise. If running, cycling, swimming, weightlifting etc are classified as sources of exercise activity thermogenesis, non-exercise activity thermogenesis is all other movement. Walking, fidgeting, maintaining posture, carrying, cooking, cleaning, etc. All of these things bundled together make non-exercise activity thermogenesis the largest contributor to total daily energy expenditure that you are in control of on a day-to-day basis. Let\'s discuss: - Why it is so important from a total energy expenditure (calorie burn) perspective, and how it relates to the how much energy we use on a daily basis from the other form of physical activity, exercise - Why non-exercise activity thermogenesis is trending downwards over time and why this is considered to be a significant contributor to rising obesity rates - Why non-exercise activity thermogenesis is extremely multifaceted and impacted by a wide number of variables, including leisure time, occupation, local neighbourhood, socioeconomic status and even climate.
