"Body adiposity" refers to the amount of body fat a person has. It is often used to describe how fat is distributed throughout the body and can help determine whether someone is underweight, average weight, overweight, or obese.
Full definition
The findings indicate that exchanging 10 minutes of sedentariness for 10 minutes of high - intensity physical activity decreases the total body and
central body adiposity by 13 per cent.
Associations between fruit and vegetable intake
with body adiposity measurements were assessed in combination and separately using multivariable regression models.
Moreover, higher levels of physical activity were related to better fitness levels also in children with higher levels
of body adiposity.
A recent Finnish study shows that
high body adiposity, low physical activity, and particularly their combination are related to poorer physical fitness among 6 - 8 year old children.
The association between physical activity and
body adiposity grew in tandem with physical activity intensity.
Set points, settling points and some alternative models: theoretical options to understand how genes and environments combine to
regulate body adiposity.
Those who have lower
overall body adiposity tend to have higher numbers of brown cells and it appears that they help to regulate body weight and boost your fat burning potential.
Fruit and vegetable intake and
body adiposity among populations in Eastern Canada: the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow's Health Study
The study showed that the more children spent time doing physical activities, the lower their total body and
central body adiposity were.
The study investigated the associations of physical activity and sedentary time
with body adiposity and cardiorespiratory fitness in 410 Finnish 6 -8-year-old children.
Body adiposity, on the other hand, was measured using dual - energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed using a maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer.
