The Dangerous Downward Spiral Of Obesity - Health News - redOrbit: For decades, researchers have studied physical activity and its relation to obesity. Almost no one, however, has studied the reverse — obesity’s effect on physical activity.
A new study from Brigham Young University (BYU) looked at the other side of the equation to determine if obesity leads to less activity. Not surprisingly, the findings confirmed what everyone has assumed all along.
“Most people talk about it as if it´s a cycle,” BYU exercise science professor Larry Tucker said. “Half of the cycle has been studied almost without limit. This is the first study of its kind, in many ways, looking at obesity leading to decreases in physical activity over time.”
