“…Participation in physical activity and limiting sedentary behaviours is associated with increased total energy expenditure and potentially beneficial homeostatic matching of energy intake to energy expenditure [1]. As such, more active lifestyles are associated with a reduced risk of obesity [2], weight loss and prevention of weight regain following weight loss [3][4][5], as evidence suggests that weight maintenance is more readily achieved at higher degrees of energy flux [6]. Thus, the accurate and precise quantification of physical activity behaviours is critical to the study of overweight, obesity and associated comorbidities.…”

“…Promoting PA is considered an effective intervention strategy in pediatric weight management [ 55 , 56 ], which attributes to the concept of energy flux [ 19 ]. Energy flux represents the rate of energy expenditure and energy intake [ 19 , 57 ], and a higher energy flux (obtained by increased PA) results in better regulation of energy balance during weight loss [ 57 ] and/or the prevention of weight gain [ 58 ]. PA could also result in favorable improvements in mental and physiological health, and both are indirectly associated with further weight-related advantages [ 59 ].…”

“…On the other side of the energy balance equation, PA has been emphasized as a critical component for healthy body weight. Promoting PA is considered an effective intervention strategy in pediatric weight management [55,56], which attributes to the concept of energy flux [19]. Energy flux represents the rate of energy expenditure and energy intake [19,57], and a higher energy flux (obtained by increased PA) results in better regulation of energy balance during weight loss [57] and/or the prevention of weight gain [58].…”

“…Moreover, genetically predetermined obesogenic behavior seems to have a significant relationship with environmental influence on body weight [ 12 ], which could add to the complexity of obesity. This complex interaction is exemplified further by the role of energy flux (the rate of energy expenditure and energy intake) in the regulation of energy balance [ 19 ]. The complicated nature of childhood obesity which leads to a wide range of inter-individual differences highlights the importance of child-centered specific approaches, particularly personalized interventions, for managing childhood obesity.…”

As a major public health concern, childhood obesity is a multifaceted and multilevel metabolic disorder influenced by genetic and behavioral aspects. While genetic risk factors contribute to and interact with the onset and development of excess body weight, available evidence indicates that several modifiable obesogenic behaviors play a crucial role in the etiology of childhood obesity. Although a variety of systematic reviews and meta-analyses have reported the effectiveness of several interventions in community-based, school-based, and home-based programs regarding childhood obesity, the prevalence of children with excess body weight remains high. Additionally, researchers and pediatric clinicians are often encountering several challenges and the characteristics of an optimal weight management strategy remain controversial. Strategies involving a combination of physical activity, nutritional, and educational interventions are likely to yield better outcomes compared to single-component strategies but various prohibitory limitations have been reported in practice. This review seeks to (i) provide a brief overview of the current preventative and therapeutic approaches towards childhood obesity, (ii) discuss the complexity and limitations of research in the childhood obesity area, and (iii) suggest an Etiology-Based Personalized Intervention Strategy Targeting Childhood Obesity (EPISTCO). This purposeful approach includes prioritized nutritional, educational, behavioral, and physical activity intervention strategies directly based on the etiology of obesity and interpretation of individual characteristics.

“…The effectiveness of the well-accepted dual approach of “Healthy Eating, Active Living” [ 22 , 23 ] has been concluded by various systematic reviews investigating health and weight management approaches, which suggests that the combination of PA and nutritional strategy is likely to yield better outcomes than single-component strategies [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Additionally, the interaction of diet and PA in the regulation of energy balance highlights their reciprocal role in weight management and health [ 28 , 29 ]. However, nutritional patterns are not limited to the concept of energy balance.…”

Healthy lifestyle is the major indicator of individual and public health especially in target populations (e.g., during emerging adulthood). Evidence indicates that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors are strongly associated with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. The dual approach of sustainable health (i.e., physical exercise tied to a healthy diet) is an effective lifestyle strategy to control and manage health-related disorders, including overweight/obesity. Based on the evidence on plant-based diets regarding health and considering the growing prevalence of vegans and vegetarians worldwide, limited data exist on the health-related behaviors of those who follow plant-based vs. mixed diets in young adulthood. This multidisciplinary study is the first to examine the association between diet type (mixed, vegetarian, and vegan diets) and various health-related behaviors (primarily physical activity, sport, & exercise) among college/university students and lecturers/academic staff in Austria nationwide. Following a cross-sectional study design and using online questionnaires, 4510 tertiary students and 1043 lecturers/academic staff provided data on sociodemographic characteristics, dietary patterns, physical exercise habits, and other lifestyle behaviors (sleep, alcohol intake, smoking, etc.) along with information on health status and quality of life. While the data will be analyzed based on differentiated sociodemographic and health-related categories, the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on lifestyle behaviors will also be evaluated. As a study protocol, this article represents comprehensive details of the design, purposes, and associated analytical measures of the present study within the tertiary educational context.
