Testing Physical Performance Measures in People With Obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study evaluates how well certain physical performance tests work for people with obesity. Researchers will test your ability to walk, balance, and move to see if these tests are reliable and accurate for measuring fitness in people with higher body weight.
