rnfluence of Diet and Exercise on Energy Expenditure-A Review R. Scott Van Zant Maintenance of a healthy body weight results from equating total enegy intake to total energy expenditure (resting metabolic rate, RMR, the thermic effect of feeding, TEF; the thermic effect of activity, TEA, and adaptive thermogenesis, AT). Dietary quantity and composition and acute and chrvnic exercise have been shown to influence all components of total energy expenditure. This paper reviews the effects of exercise and diet on energy expenditure and, ultimately, energy balance. Overnutrition increases RMR and TEF while undernutrition decreases them. Carbohydrate and protein oxidation is closely tied to intake whereas fat oxidation does not closely parallel fat intake. Thus excess fat intake is likely to lead to fat storage. Acute endurance exercise at >70%VQmax increases postexerciseRMR and TEF.Chronic exercise training may increase RMR while also increasing TEF. Review of the research indicates that energy balance may best be achieved by consuming an energy appropriate, low fat diet complemented by endurance exercise.

Approximately 25% of the adult Anierican population may be considered obese (97). Obesity, as a contributingrisk factor in such conditions ascardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes, is recognized as a prominent health concern in western society. Thus the importance of maintaining a.healthy body weight and percent body fat, thereby reducing the risk of deveroping obesity, becomes readily apparent. Weight maintenance results from achieving a state of energy balance in which total energy intake from food is matched by total energy expenditure, composed primarily of resting metabolic rate, the thermic effect of feeding, and physical activity. Many factors are associated with dietary intake, exercise, and their interaction, which may influence energy expenditure and, as a result, m l the simple equation of energy balance (energy stored = energy in - energy a bit more complex. This article reviews the effects of dietary quantity composition, and acute and chronic exercise training on overall energy e ture. Additionally, dietary and exercise considerations for maintaining en .i I balance are discussed. R. Scoa Van Zlur~is wirh t Beltsville Human Nutr. Res.

considered (18,21), and this genetic effect eould have a significant influence on an individual's ability to maintain x?nergy,bMance throughout life (21, 82). Thermic effect of feeding is the energy expended in excess of resting metabolic rate for the digestion, absorption, transport, metabolism, and storage of food and it accounts for approximately 10% of daily energy expenditure (49). Thermic effect of feeding is composed of 'two components, termed obligatory and facultative thermogenesis. Obligatory thermogenesis is the energy required to take up and metabolically process ingested food; according to Horton (46), it accounts for 50-75% of the*total thermic effect of feeding .response. The remaining increased energy expenditure is considered facultative thermogenesis and may have its origin in increased sympathetic nervous system activity (53) and metabolic cycling (64) resulting from food ingestion. Thermic effect of feeding is influenced by a number of factors including the caloric content and composition of the meal consumed (5, 49), the nutritional state and antecedent diet of the individual (5, loo), individual genotype (76), and level of physical fitness (75). The host variable component of daily human energy expenditure is thermic effect of activity which, according to Poehlman (70), may account for as little as 15% or as much as 30% of overall daily energy expenditure. Under conditions of weight maintenance energy intake, increased energy expenditure: through purposeful physical activity provides the means of inducing short-term energy deficits that could result in weight loss. As will be,discussed later, alterations in thermic effect of activity, and the resulting physiological effects.accompanying long-term physical training, may influence resting metabolic rate and thermic effect of feeding. The final component ofdaily energy expenditure, adaptive thermogenesis, may be considered as changes in ,normal status of daily energy expenditure, primarily via alterations of resting metabolic rate and thermic effect of feeding, as a result of environmental andlor physiologiml stresses. Alterations in heat ~ ~ characteristically production with no apparent change in physical F W O may describe the effect of adaptive thermogenesis. Poehlman and Homn (71) suggest that nonshivering thermogenesis during cold exposure, increasesldecreases in metabolism with overfeedinglundernutrition, and changes in resting metabolic rate and,thermic effect of feeding as a result of chroniG exercise training may all be considered as examples of adaptive thermogenesis. Horton (46) indicates that while changes in daily can account for no m over time might have a

Both quantity and composition of the diet may influenee overall energyexpenditure. It is well established that severe undernutrition results in a decrease in resting metabolic rate in both animals and humans beyond that accounted for by weight loss (6,9, 1l , 3 & "45; 50,63; 90). Such a metabolic adaptation may serve as a protective mechanism to prevent excessive loss, of energy stored in vital tissues during periods of starvation (50, 7'0).

subjects the thermic effect of feeding was most pronounced when the meal was consumed prior to exercise, while in obese subjects the thermic effect of feeding was greatest when the meal was consumed after exercise. The enhanced thermic effect of feeding in the obese postexercise, when compared to the lean subjects, may be a result of both an increase in glucose uptake by skeletal muscle as a result of exercise and an increase in thermogenic hormone levels and sympathetic nervous activity (88). ' Contrary to the above findings, several investigators have found exercise to have little if any enhancing effect on thermic effect of feeding (12, 25, 26, 98). Several methodological factors could explain some of the variation seen in the results of the various studies in this area. Welle (98) noted that few studies which have fed meals of less than 900 kcal(3,767 kJ) have seen enhanced thermic effect of feeding associated with exercise. Some studies that have failed to show an enhanced thermic effect of feeding with exercise measured oxygen consumption for a short time (60 min or less) (12, 26) or had brief sampling periods (2 min) over several hours (25). Additionally, exercise duration has varied substantially in these studies. Several studies failing to show increased thermic effect of feeding with exercise have used short (15 min or less), intermittent exercise bouts (25, 98), while many studies demonstrating a potentiating effect of exercise on thermic effect of feeding have used prolonged (30-80 min), continuous exercise bouts (58,62,88,89, 100). It is also important to recall that there is a significant degree of inconsistency and conflicting results in the general area of thermic effect of feeding research. Lack of standardized protocols and incompletely described methods have resulted in a wide variety of answers to the various research questions related to thermic effect of feeding (17). While still the topic of some debate, it appears that chronic exercise training which results in a high degree of fitness tends to decrease thermic effect of feeding. In their cross-sectional study of 28 young male subjects covering wide ranges in maximal aerobic capabilities (defined both by VOzmax and level of endurance training), Poehlman et al. (75) demonstrated a curvilinear relationship between V02max and thermic effect of feeding. Thermic effect of feeding was highest in moderately trained individuals whereas it was lower in the highly trained and untrained, This curvilinear response may explain why some studies have shown a linear relationship of V02max and thermic effect of feeding (44), especially if the sample size or range of fitness levels was limited. It is possible that in the untrained a reduced sensitivity to insulin may be the cause of the decreased thermic effect of feeding;while in the highly trained a decreased sympathetic nervous activity as a result of chronic exercise training may result in a decreased thermic effect of feeding (75). It should also be recalled that highly trained individuals have an elevated resting metabolic rate, which might tend to mask a portion of the facultative component of thermic effect of feeding. Finally, a strong genetic component to thermic effect of feeding has been demonstrated that could also influence individual response in this measurement (77).

quotient (ratio of carbon dioxide formed to oxygen utilized during combustion of the diet) of the typical western diet (total energy partition: 45% carbohydrate, 40% fat, 15% protein) is 0.85, while the respiratory quotient following an overnight fast is 0.82. If energy balance is to be maintained over the course of the day, the respiratory quotient must equal the food quotient. If the daily respiratory quotient exceeds the daily food quotient, a greater proportion of carbohydrate was oxidized, resulting in an overall carbohydrate deficit. If carbohydrate balance is to be reestablished on the typical mixed diet, food will be consumed in amounts exceeding actual energy expenditure, with the excess energy derived from fat being stored. It is therefore important to maintain an equilibrium between dietary intake of fat and oxidation of fat through activity. Such a condition may be achieved by either limiting fat intake (increasing the dietary food quotient by consuming a high carbohydrate diet), increasing activity of sufficient intensity and duration (mild to moderate endurance type exercise which tends to elicit lower respiratory quotients) to increase fat oxidation, or combining both factors. In final consideration of the reviewed research, it would seem that a balanced diet sufficient in protein, low in fat (530% total energy), and rich in complex carbohydrate may be the most appropriate for apparently healthy humans (96). Such a diet should be complemented by regular endurance exercise of an intensity and duration appropriate for the physical capabilities of the individual. If weight loss is desired, dietary restriction should come mostly from fat sources and should not be severe, thereby reducing the risk of decreasing resting metabolic rate through severe undemutrition. Prolonged exercise of mild to moderate intensity would also be a logical component of any weight loss regimen, as it would add to the overall energy deficit while serving to maintain resting metabolic rate in a state of undernutrition (37, 51, 63). The increased energy expenditure through exercise would also decrease the magnitude of the energy deficit required from caloric restriction in an attempt to achieve a healthy body weight.

The flux of energy through the metabolic systems of the human is a dynamic, multifaceted process. Variations in energy intake, physical activity, environmental factors, and genetic background make the study of human energy expenditure a most complex task. In considering the effects of diet and exercise on energy expenditure, one must understand how they influence each of the component parts of total energy expenditure. Total dietary content influences resting metabolic rate, resulting in a decreased resting metabolic rate during undernutrition and an increased resting metabolic rate with overfeeding. These dietary-induced changes in resting metabolic rate result from alterations in sympathetic nervous system activity and metabolic hormone function. Dietary composition may affect energy expenditure. The body maintains precise metabolic control of carbohydrate and protein by altering oxidation rates of these nutrients, since their storage capacity in the body is limited. Less stringent control is required of fat, since excess dietary fat is readily stored at minimal metabolic expense. Excess intake of fat not only leads
