Welcome to the Energy Balance Laboratory
The Center for Physical Activity and Weight Management supports research, training, and outreach on weight loss
and weight maintenance. The Center's major feature is the Energy Balance Laboratory, located in the Robinson Center. Operating since
January 2000, the 8,000-square-foot facility contains state-of-the-art instrumentation to measure energy intake and energy
expenditure. Funded by the National Institutes of Health, we investigate exercise, nutrition,
prevention of obesity, and weight loss in both adults and children. We maintain four behaviorally based weight loss clinics.
