Simulated weight loss and walking energy in teens with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks if simulating weight loss (like using a vest or walking on a treadmill with added weight) changes how much energy it takes for overweight teens to walk. It might help understand how losing weight could make moving easier for teens with obesity.
