Long Term Exercise - LTE

Thank you for your interest in the Long Term Exercise Study at the Energy Balance Lab.  Please take a few minutes to look over the details of the study (below). 

DETAILS:
This study is designed to compare the effects of two levels of exercise training on weight loss.  There also will be a control group that will not perform exercise training during the study but will be paid.
            The exercise training will take about 1 hour to complete.  You will perform the training 5 days per week for 10 months in a private exercise room equipped with state of the art equipment (treadmills, elliptical trainers, recumbent bike) and entertainment (individual TV’s with cable, radio, DVD’s). The project lasts 10 months, and you will be required to stay in the Lawrence area and train 5 day/week over the summer.  The majority of exercise training will be walking or jogging (your choice) on a treadmill.

COMPENSATION:
            At the completion of the study you will be compensated $2000.00.  You will also receive detailed information about your body and fitness levels, including body composition (fat to muscle ratio), metabolism, and maximal oxygen consumption during exercise. These tests normally cost > $500 to perform in the clinic; however, you receive the services for FREE as a study participant.
