In\u003ci\u003e Biologic Regulation of Physical Activity\u003c\/i\u003e, Dr. Thomas W. Rowland posits a distinct possibility of the existence of a central biologic controller of activity. If harnessed, this mechanism could lead to breakthroughs in health science professionals’ quest for more effective ways of helping people be more active and, as a result, healthier. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Rowland is one of the most well-respected pediatric cardiologists in the United States. He has authored three other books and more than 150 journal articles and has served in several key national leadership positions in pediatric medicine. In \u003ci\u003eBiologic Regulation of Physical Activity\u003c\/i\u003e, Rowland uses his expertise, along with numerous references and direct quotes from expert witnesses, to provide a detailed account of how current research may support the existence of a biologic regulator—a mechanism in the brain that involuntarily controls biological processes—associated with physical activity. Rowland proposes a possible mechanism for such a control and explores the implications of this theory. This developing area of research and theory offers a new lens through which health professionals and those who research issues related to obesity, physical activity adherence, and sedentary behaviors can view their work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The book moves methodically through the research, rationale, and implications of a biologic regulator of physical activity. In part I, Surveying the Evidence, readers are guided through a litany of research—both on humans and on animals—that provides support for the existence of a biologic regulator. This section synthesizes evidence from an interdisciplinary perspective, covering research on topics such as behavioral disorders, brain damage, lifetime activity patterns, and sex differences. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Part II, Rationale and Mechanisms details the possible biologic explanation for control of energy output through activity and proposes a mechanism by which it might function in order to maintain an energy in–energy out balance. The hypothesis presented in this section is that the body has a need for energy balance that leads to activity regulation, similar to how the body regulates appetite. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In part III, Implications of Biologic Regulation of Activity, some clear implications from current research, which may help health science professionals in their treatment and prevention efforts against patients’ obesity and inactivity, are discussed. Rowland also poses some critical questions for further research, if indeed a biologic controller of activity exists, such as how much effect a biologic controller might have on activity level as compared to environmental factors and whether this biologic regulator could be altered. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This book will initiate further discussion, examination, and research into the idea that physical activity may be, at least in part, controlled by a central biologic regulator. Further study may lead to a widespread realization that there is an involuntary biologic regulator of activity that, once fully understood, could lead researchers to discover alternative interventions in the fight against inactivity and obesity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--end tabDescription--\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-tableofcontents\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePart I.

Russell Tupling, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor and chair of the department of kinesiology and health sciences at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. His research program, which is funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, is dedicated to the understanding of the regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) function in muscle and understanding how defects in the function of SR proteins that occur with oxidative stress contribute to fatigue, weakness, and disease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Tupling has published over 110 peer-reviewed publications in scholarly journals and over 185 conference abstracts based on his research. In 2010, he received the Award of Excellence in Graduate Supervision from the University of Waterloo. Tupling is a member of the American Physiological Society and the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP). He was invited to give the inaugural Mike Houston Tutorial Lecture in Skeletal Muscle at the CSEP conference in 2009.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Tiidus, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is the dean of the faculty of applied health science at Brock University in Ontario, Canada. He has authored more than 95 refereed publications and presented his research in numerous lectures and conference presentations. His research focuses on the effects of hormones such as estrogen on muscle damage, inflammation, and repair as well as the influence of treatment interventions on muscle recovery from damage and physiological responses. In recognition of his years of contribution to exercise physiology, Tiidus was made a fellow of the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP) in 2023. He is also a member of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and European College of Sports Science (ECSS).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRene Vandenboom, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the department of kinesiology at Brock University in Ontario, Canada. His research has focused on excitation-contraction coupling and the mechanics of skeletal muscle contraction. Vandenboom has published more than 50 peer-reviewed articles in scholarly journals, many on the topic of myosin phosphorylation and force potentiation in skeletal muscle. An avid weight lifter, runner, and ball hockey player, he extolls the value of exercise across the lifespan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael E. Houston, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e (1941-2008) received his undergraduate training in biochemistry from the University of Toronto and his PhD in biochemistry from the University of Waterloo. A superb athlete and lifelong exercise fanatic, he was able to integrate his training in biochemistry with his love of exercise science and to forge a career as a teacher and scientist in the field of kinesiology. During his 40-year career, he authored more than 100 refereed publications and taught courses on the biochemistry of exercise to many undergraduate and graduate students. In 2003, he was presented with the Honour Award from the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology in acknowledgment of his lifetime contribution to research and education in exercise science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Houston was the author of the first three editions of \u003ci\u003eBiochemistry Primer for Exercise Science\u003c\/i\u003e. This fifth edition, which is built on his body of work, still incorporates a major portion of his third edition.
