The obesity epidemic in the U.S. continues. In the last few years, obesity rates have not increased significantly in some U.S. subpopulations, but it is too soon to tell whether this means that the epidemic has reached maximum levels in these populations.1, 2 There is clear evidence that obesity rates are increasing in much of the rest of the world.3, 4 A large amount of research is now directed toward better understanding and treating obesity, and substantial public health efforts are directed toward reducing obesity rates. To date, however, there is little evidence of success in reversing the epidemic in the U.S.

<u>Answer</u>:
Squatting to a pet dog before a run will activity create tension in the legs.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Tension in muscle contraction generates tension in the muscle fibers. In natural movements of locomotion the muscle contractions produce changes in length and tension in the muscle fibers of skeletal muscle. The sliding of protein filaments past to each other inside skeletal muscle fiber produces a contraction.
When the muscles is stretched or shortened beyond its normal level a tension which resist the change in the muscle length is felt. Among the above mentioned options the maximum tension can be observed in the following order: squatting to pet a dog > stretching your legs before a run > pressing a car's accelerator pedal > standing for five minutes (no active tension).
