Leggings With Resistance Bands on Caloric Expenditure During Exercise

This observational study is looking at how special exercise leggings with built-in resistance bands affect how many calories you burn during exercise. Researchers want to see if wearing these leggings (called SRB leggings) helps women burn more calories compared to regular leggings. They will measure calorie and fat burning while you do different exercises like walking, rowing, climbing, and cycling. This study is for healthy women between 18 and 50 years old with a BMI between 18.5 and 35, who exercise moderately or less than three times a week. The study's status is currently unclear.

Study design
This is an observational, randomized, controlled, and single-blind crossover study with a planned enrollment of 35 women.
What's involved
You would have three lab visits: one for screening and fitting (1 hour), and two separate visits (2 hours each) where you exercise while wearing different leggings.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Oxygen consumption and respiratory exchange ratio will be monitored during four 10-minute exercises and for 10 minutes after each exercise.
