That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy

Take an object on the ground. Now lift it up. You do work against gravity. Now, if you let it drop then it'll gain speed as it falls. That;s kinetic energy. It came from the potential energy which was from the work done. So, work went to potential energy and now goes to kinetic energy.

1. ¿Cuál es el actor clave de del exceso de peso corporal?
Slav-nsk [51]

El factor mas importante para el exceso de peso es un  exceso de energía creada por una alimentación excesiva

El peso de un cuerpo es definido por la relación entre la energía requerida para los procesos vitales del cuerpo, sus actividades físicas diarias y la energía suministra en forma de alimentos.

Cuando estos dos parámetros están en balance el peso es estable, pero cuando la cantidad de alimentos aumenta o el valor energético de los mismo aumenta se tiene un exceso de energía que el cuerpo almacena en forma de grasa corporal, este el el factor mas importante para el exceso de peso.

En conclusión el factor mas importante para el exceso de peso es un  exceso de energía por una alimentación excesiva
