Effect of Exercise-Induced Weight Loss on Energy Metabolism

Completed

Conditions studied: Metabolism, Weight Loss

In brief

The E-MECHANIC Ancillary Study will measure changes in 24-hour energy expenditure and spontaneous physical activity in a subset of 60 obese individuals enrolled in the main study. We aim to determine if changes in energy metabolism might explain why people don't lose the expected amount of weight in an exercise program.
