Relations between physical activity (PA), body mass, and energy intake (adapted from Archer, 2018). As physical activity declines below the “Metabolic Tipping Point” (i.e., into the “Sedentary” range), energy intake and energy expenditure become dissociated due to insufficient metabolic-flux, and as a result, body mass will begin to increase as energy balance becomes positive.
