Summary
This study looks at how short, intense body-weight exercises like squats, burpees, and planks affect energy use in healthy young adults. Twenty volunteers aged 18 to 30 will have their energy burned measured before, during, and after one minute of exercise using a portable device. The goal is to see if even a tiny burst of activity can meaningfully change metabolism, which could help improve fitness and weight management advice.
