Summary

Obesity related ailments, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic disorders are major causes of death in the Western World. This trial may result in improved prevention, diagnosis and treatments for obesity and obesity-related disorders. Published data show that if a weight is carried by a rodent, this animal will lose body weight and gain an improved glucose control. Recently published data further show comparable results in humans when carrying an additional weight.

The investigators aim to confirm and further investigate these findings in humans. The investigators plan to let obese participants carry weight vests and monitor their change in body weight. The investigators will also measure food intake, physical activity, energy expenditure, body composition, abdominal fat and heart rate variability. This to further examine the potential beneficial effects of loading and the mechanism of action.
