          Abstract

          International Scholarly Research Notices has retracted the article titled “Physical Activity: An Important Adaptative Mechanism for Body-Weight Control” [1]. The article was found to contain a substantial amount of material from the following published articles: “Tappy, L., Binnert, C. and Schneiter, P. (2003) ‘Energy expenditure, physical activity and body-weight control', Proceedings of the Nutrition Society, 62(3), pp. 663–666. doi: 10.1079/PNS2003280,” and “James A. Levine: Nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT): environment and biology American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism Published 1 May 2004 Vol. 286 no. 5, E675–E685 DOI: 10.1152/ajpendo.00562.2003.” The first author Carmine Finelli accepts responsibility for this and apologizes to Tappy et al. and Levine.

          Physical Activity: An Important Adaptative Mechanism for Body-Weight Control

          We review the current concepts about energy expenditure and evaluate the physical activity (PhA) in the context of this knowledge and the available literature. Regular PhA is correlated with low body weight and low body fat mass. The negative fat balance is probably secondary to this negative energy balance. Nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) and physical activity, that is crucial for weight control, may be important in the physiology of weight change. An intriguing doubt that remains unresolved is whether changes in nutrient intake or body composition secondarily affect the spontaneous physical activity.
