The dependence of the rate of metabolism from the intensity of physical activity

Abstract

Nowadays, the problem of excess weight worries most of the population of our country, one of the reasons is the recessing of metabolic rate that often leads to the accumulation of unnecessary amount of nutrients. Therefore, this problem should be solved to raise the quality of health and improve appearance of the human body. There are several ways of getting rid of this problem: to maintain a proper diet, to keep up the regime of day (getting enough sleep and rest), and the most important requirement is the regular comprehensive physical activity. Metabolism involves two possible ways of transformation of nutrients such as proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is the catabolism(breakdown) and anabolism(building up or creation). These two biochemical processes are closely interrelated. If more energy releases in the process of catabolism than it is used in the process of anabolism, the body stores the excess energy as fat and glycogen, and it is required to accelerate the metabolic rate to get rid of that.
