Study Summary
Although instruments such as pedometers and heart rate monitors are helpful for those who use exercise to maintain their weight, they do not actually measure calories expended, which is a critical piece of information necessary for sustained weight management. The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy of a new device that measures calories burned based upon heat produced by the body. Since heat production is directly proportional to calories burned, this device has the potential to accurately measure energy expended in many different settings.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Effects of Clothing
- BEHAVIORAL Effects of Temperature
- BEHAVIORAL Low Physical Activity
- BEHAVIORAL High Physical Activity
- BEHAVIORAL Direct calorimetry and doubly labeled water
