ENERGY METABOLISM

This study will measure how much energy older adults use during mat and equipment-based Pilates sessions. Twenty men and women aged 60+ with Pilates experience will complete both types of Pilates and treadmill walking. Researchers will track calories burned, heart rate, and perce…

This study checks if a new computer algorithm can accurately estimate total daily energy expenditure (calories burned) in adults with movement limitations. Participants wear an accelerometer and drink special water to compare measurements. The goal is to improve how we track ener…

This study looks at medical records from 1000 adults to understand how bones, muscles, and energy use are linked. Researchers will analyze blood and urine markers to see how they change with age and sex. The goal is to learn more about these connections, not to test a new treatme…

This study tests whether a ketone supplement can improve how the body uses insulin and burns energy. Ten overweight adults aged 55-70 will receive different combinations of growth hormone, a ketone drink, or placebos on separate days. Using advanced PET scans and tissue samples, …

This study looks at how lactate, a substance produced during exercise, moves between blood plasma and red blood cells. Researchers will test 84 healthy people (both trained athletes and sedentary individuals) during interval cycling. They will also check if a genetic variation af…

This study watches how the body uses energy in people recovering from stroke, brain injury, or major surgery. Researchers will measure things like metabolism, sleep, walking, and brain activity in 80 adults. The goal is to build computer models that predict each person's energy n…
