Cover Story: Non-exercise physical activity (NEPA) involves human body movements that lead to energy expenditure without meticulous control or planning. Addressing the systemic factors that contribute to a sedentary lifestyle is crucial, necessitating the creation of active environments and the introduction of policies that promote physical activity. Maximizing the effectiveness of NEPA demands the considerations of motivation, individual preferences, and ease of implementation (e.g., family walks, traditional games, musical activities, and the establishment of active environments and systems). NEPA presents a sustainable, long-term strategy for preventing and managing excess fat mass, highlighting the importance of integrating an active lifestyle intervention with physical exercise (particularly resistance training) and nutrition programs. View this paper
