Body Composition Study for Healthy Adults
Protocol: STUDY00008415
Full Title
Manipulation of bioelectrical impedance analysis estimated body fat
Description
We are looking for healthy adults to participate in a study about how body temperature, body water, and electrolytes impact the measurement of body composition.

Participants will attend 6 study visits over 1-2 months on the UB South Campus (at Main Street and Bailey Avenue). During Visit 1 (2.5 hours) you will learn about the study and the research team will screen you for eligibility. Your body weight and hydration will be tested during Visits 2 and 3 (15 minutes each). In Visit 4 (about 5 hours), you will exercise on a stationary bicycle and wear a tube suit that has warm and cold water flowing through it. During Visit 5 (about 7 hours), you will consume a drink containing flavoring, salt, and glycerol (helps retain water). Before Visit 6 (1 hour), you will be given creatine supplements to take 4 times per day for 7 days prior to the visit. In most visits we will measure your body weight, body composition, and hydration, and perform a blood draw.

Participants can earn up to $256.
