Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia, have recently measured the body fat of a group of rats, and after a little over two years without exercise, rats have increased by about 25% of their body fat. "Not knowing that it is possible to get food at any time, the body stores, as fat, all that do not burn the body to operate, "says Frank Booth, PHDM, professor of biomedical studies and co-author of the study.
.
Further studies are needed to measure and quantify this observation in humans. However, the message is clear: what you do not burn through exercise, the body will store as fat.
