How many calories do you burn walking uphill?

July 16, 2009

The Physical Activity Laboratory is seeking healthy, overweight (~30-75 lbs overweight), non-smoking volunteers, aged 18-45 for a study on the calories burned during uphill and downhill walking.

Benefits include:

• Body composition (% body fat)
• Resting and exercise caloric expenditure
• Fitness assessment
• Heart health
• Bone density

Participants should not be currently taking prescription medications or using any illicit drugs such as cocaine or methamphetamine.

If you are interested in participating, please send an e-mail to: palab@cahs.colostate.edu or call (970) 492-4072.

The study will require 3-4.5 hours total, consisting of three 1-2 hour visits to the lab.
