Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Resting energy expenditure will be assessed using indirect calorimetry. Oxygen<br /><br>consumption and carbon dioxide production will be measured. The respiratory<br /><br>quotient will be derived from oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
