No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical protocol is to perform a randomized crossover study to determine the energy cost of holding the MedGem® device above a person's normal resting metabolic rate (RMR) compared to not holding the MedGem® device.

Conditions

  • Resting Metabolic Rate

Interventions

DEVICE

Not holding, then holding the MedGem®

Subjects will have a RMR measurement taken first while not holding the MedGem®, and then while holding the MedGem®

DEVICE

Holding, then not holding the MedGem®
