Beyond Sloth--Physical Activity and Weight Gain
Article Abstract:
The causes of obesity are unknown, though there is some evidence that suggests that genetic factors are involved. There is also evidence that voluntary and involuntary physical activities make a difference in the amount of weight that a person gains when they overeat. Nonvolitional physical activity may have a profound effect on weight gain.
