Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), also known as non-exercise physical activity (NEPA), [1] is energy expenditure during activities that are not part of a structured exercise program. NEAT includes physical activity at the workplace, hobbies, standing instead of sitting, walking around, climbing stairs, doing chores, and fidgeting .
The metabolic equivalent of task (MET) is the objective measure of the ratio of the rate at which a person expends energy, relative to the mass of that person, while performing some specific physical activity compared to a reference, currently set by convention at an absolute 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg per minute, which is the energy expended when sitting quietly by a reference individual, chosen ...

Even for those who are active, spending more than 10.6 hours a day sitting or lying down can significantly increase the risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death. The findings suggest you can ...
Starvation response in animals (including humans) is a set of adaptive biochemical and physiological changes, triggered by lack of food or extreme weight loss, in which the body seeks to conserve energy by reducing metabolic rate and/or non-resting energy expenditure to prolong survival and preserve body fat and lean mass.
Partner sex may take a bit more energy, but you're still only burning around 4.2 calories a minute, according to a small study done by scientists at the University of Montreal in 2013.
