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.
