Participants needed for kinesiology study on rucking and energy expenditure

Interested in participating in a study to examine the impact of weight loading on burning calories? Using weighted vests while walking or running, also known as rucking, has become a popular trend.

We are conducting a research study to test the benefits of rucking and to understand how much weight needs to be used to significantly impact oxygen consumption and energy expenditure.

We are looking for non-athlete George Fox students who exercise regularly and are not frequent users of weighted vests. If you are interested, please fill out this form and contact one of the researchers listed.
