Summary
This study looks at how a 12-week weight loss program—combining nutrition advice, exercise, and psychological support—changes the way teenagers with obesity burn energy. Researchers want to understand the separate roles of metabolic and mechanical load on energy expenditure during walking. The goal is to find ways to prevent the weight regain that often happens after weight loss.
