James A. Levine
James A. Levine is a renowned researcher specializing in human activity, movement, and health. He has extensively studied how physical activity impacts well-being, including the effects of sedentary lifestyles. Levine is known for developing the concept of "Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis" (NEAT), which examines how everyday movements—like fidgeting or standing—contribute to energy expenditure. His work highlights the importance of staying active throughout the day to support metabolic health and prevent diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Overall, Levine’s research emphasizes that small, consistent movements matter significantly to our health.
