RESEARCH: Men with childhood onset obesity burn less muscle fat during endurance exercise People who develop obesity in childhood face a greater risk of metabolic diseases than those who gain weight later in life. However, the reasons behind this difference remain unclear. A new study led by Sylvia Santosa, a professor in the Department of Health, Kinesiology and Applied Physiology, investigates how the timing of obesity onset affects the way the body uses fat stored in muscle during exercise. https://lnkd.in/esdq4agM #obesity #exercise #kinesiology

RECHERCHE : Les hommes qui présentent de l’obésité depuis l’enfance brûlent moins de graisse musculaire durant un exercice d’endurance Les personnes qui ont de l’obésité à l’enfance présentent un plus grand risque de maladies métaboliques que celles qui prennent du poids plus tard dans leur vie. Les raisons de cette disparité demeurent toutefois obscures. Une nouvelle étude menée par Sylvia Santosa, professeure au Département de santé, de kinésiologie et de physiologie appliquée, examine l’incidence du moment où apparaît l’obésité sur la manière dont l’organisme utilise la graisse stockée dans les muscles durant l’exercice physique. https://lnkd.in/et9pZpDA #obésité #exercice #kinésiologie

Our next Colloquium on March 24: "Overcoming health and physical activity challenges for neurodivergent youth" by William J. Harvey, Ph.D. Physical activity is an important component of a healthy lifestyle that many school-aged youth with neurodivergent conditions find challenging to participate in. This presentation will highlight some of the shared facilitators and barriers to physical activity for school-aged youth with varying neurodivergent conditions like autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and developmental coordination disorder. https://lnkd.in/eYQAk239
