The Energy Flux Study

Evaluation of Energy Balance at High vs. Low Energy Flux - Energy Flux Study

Summary

The focus of this randomized clinical trial study is an examination of the effects of maintaining energy balance at different energy fluxes. It will address the primary question: Are there increased health benefits related to body composition and metabolic function associated with maintaining energy balance at a high energy flux as compared to a low energy flux?

Detailed description

We will randomly assign 75 sedentary but healthy individuals to one of two exercise groups or a non-exercise group. We will follow the individuals for 6 months during the intervention period. Both groups will maintain weight by matching energy intake and expenditure (thus the exercise group will consume more calories).
