Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Sled Dog Model for Positive Health Effects of Weight Management and ExerciseLaura Falkenstein, Scott Jerome et al.Obesity is a significant risk factor for metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes. Physical activity and/or dietary modification can reduce the incidence of obesity. Marginal fitness levels limit the efficacy of exercise training, and most humans choose from a wide range of dietary strategies to lose weight. Despite these limitations, exercise in the absence of weight loss may offer protective … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2023 · 6,151 accessesView PDFCite
