The purpose of this study is to determine whether wearing patches worn over a two week period causes the body to burn more fat. Participants will be required to keep accurate food/exercise logs during the study and participate in two separate maximal / sub-maximal exercise tests (beginning and end of study). The total expected time commitment for this study is approximately 13 hours (1-2 hours for the consent and explanation of procedures, 30 minutes per day or 7 hours total to record the food/activity log, and 3-4 hours to complete both testing periods).
Requirements for Participation:
Volunteers completing the study will not receive compensation but will have their cardiovascular fitness (maximal VO2) and body composition (percent body fat) determined. They will also receive two free sandwich meals. Potential benefits include increased fat loss and increased exercise performance.
