This book reveals the new but factual science of human body size and shape. It explains the biological basis (biomechanology) of body mass gain and loss, as well as the mechanisms of body mass distribution.

Some of the authors’ work described in this book was published in 2005. under “Obesity, Gravity, Strength, and Balance” and later in 2008 and 20012 under “Modern Science of Biomechanics and Weight Gain and Loss.” Various academic journals, peer-reviewed publications, and the 8th International Scientific Conference on Kinesiology have cited the editions.

This book consists of 82discussion articles and 20 infographic images. Each article is a brick in the structure that explains the biological basis of weight gain and weight loss, as well as the factors that determine body mass distribution.

The first eleven introductory and discussion articles (pages 8-40) briefly explain the fallacies in mainstream weight gain and weight loss theories, highlighting that throughout history, physicians have been aware of obesity and its adverse effects on health. Still, until the end of the nineteenth century, any suggestion to restrict a particular food intake in favour of another or to restrict overall food intake to solve obesity was rare and regarded as bizarre by physicians and the general population.

• The article “Ancient and Modern Intervention for Controlling Body Shape and Size” explains how ancient interventions effectively controlled body weight and body mass distribution. Modern weight-loss interventions never even attempted to control the distribution of body mass.
• The article “An Explanation for Why Astronauts and Cosmonauts Quickly Lose Body Mass in Space” provides the first glimpse into how the Biological Basis of Body Mass Loss works (muscle, bone, and fat mass loss in space).
• The article “Explaining why Some People Lose Weight while Dieting while Others Don’t” explains why dieting for weight loss causes weight loss in some people without changes in their physical activity, while others don’t, and some even causes further weight gain.
• The article “An Explanation For Why Some People Lose Weight Through Exercise While Others Do Not” explains why some exercises, without changes in food intake, cause weight loss, while others do not, and some exercises even cause further weight gain. Also, it describes the mechanism underlying exercise-induced weight loss and weight gain.
• In the article “Comparison of Weight Loss Caused by Long-Standing Illnesses, Certain Types of Injuries and Weight Loss After Weight Loss Surgery“, the author explains the mechanism underlying weight loss after weight loss surgery – bariatric surgery.

This book explains the fallacies of the theories behind all known weight loss programs (dieting, increased physical activities, weight loss pills, etc.) and the real reason behind the slim or lean body shape of weight loss professionals, which they are unaware of. Instead, they wrongly believe it is due to their diet, program, etc., for weight loss, which they advocate to the general population.

Extensive Author research about callisthenics exercises and their role in managing body shape and size is published in a separate book under the title, “Locomotor Skills and Postural Control Weight Loss Exercises” with the subtitle, Ancient Greek and New Calisthenics – Beauty and Strength Exercises”. In that book, the author explains which physical exercises are appropriate for individuals who are overweight, obese, severely obese, and those affected by lipoedema-obesity and lipodystrophy-cellulite.

More information about this book and the author’s work on what determines body weight and shape can be found on his old website, “modernscienceofbiomechanics.com”, and his new website, “biomechanology.com“.

This book unveils groundbreaking science that provides unique insights into what determines human body weight and shape, which the Author began discussing in his first book, “Biomechanology of Body Mass Gain, Body Mass Loss, and Body Mass Distribution.”

This book is the only exercise book that explains why excessive body mass loss (weight loss) after increased physical activity or exercise occurs due to body mass atrophy rather than burning calories, as established science (or pseudoscience) professes. Burning calories never happens in the human body.

This book explores contemporary misconceptions about the relationship between food, exercise, and human body weight and shape. The first Author’s book, “Biomechanology of Body Mass Gain, Body Mass Loss and Body Mass Distribution,” provides an extensive explanation of the misconceptions about the popular science (pseudoscience) of weight gain and loss and presents the unique but actual science of weight gain, weight loss, and body mass distribution.

The fundamental science of human body weight and shape begins in the Author’s first book and concludes in this one, his second book. This new and innovative science will forever change how you view food and exercise.

This book (“Locomotor Skills and Postural Control Weight Loss Exercises“) contains initially designed and extensively described exercises (new callisthenics) that cause weight loss (excess body mass loss) and build a more beautiful and stronger body in everyone, regardless of their current body weight.

1. The exercises (the new callisthenics exercises) described in this book cause the loss (atrophy) of excessive fat mass, muscle mass, and bone mass without losing muscle and bone density.
2. The new callisthenics exercises increase bone and muscle density while simultaneously causing the (atrophy) loss of excess fat, bone, and muscle mass.

The four essential weight loss exercises for obese and severely obese people described in this book efficiently cause weight loss in everyone, particularly in people with obesity and severe obesity. They simultaneously improve breathing rhythm and strengthen breathing muscles. At the same time, they cause weight loss of excess body mass and improve musculoskeletal alignment.

In addition, this book describes exercises and physical activities that cause weight loss in people with lipedema-obesity and lipodystrophy-cellulite.

This book discusses the mainstream-ignored fact that many average-weight people get overweight or obese by engaging in specific physical activities alone without increasing food intake. An example of Olympic sports shows that competitive running marathons result in a skinny body, in contrast to competitive heavy weightlifting, which results in an overweight or obese body.

This book explains that there is no straightforward relationship between physical activity and weight loss, as even an overweight or obese person can gain weight if they run a marathon. In contrast, every slightly overweight and average-weight person will likely lose weight by running a marathon.

This book explains why increased physical activity or exercises cause weight loss in average-weight and overweight people and why the same exercises and physical activities cause weight gain in obese and severely obese people. It explains the underlying mechanism of weight gain in overweight and obese people through specific exercises and physical activities. This book explains why the type of physical activity plays a crucial role in determining body weight gain or loss, as well as the mechanism behind weight loss induced by every single exercise designed in this book.
