Change in body weight, fat mass and fat free mass at 3 weeks vs baseline for all subjects who completed the study. Results are presented as least square means with 95% confidence intervals for all randomized subjects with body weight available both at baseline and at 3 weeks treated with light weight vest (Low load; n = 36) or heavy weight vest (High load, n = 33). The between group p-values (High load vs Low load) given within the figure are calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) adjusted for age, sex, baseline BMI, Vest exposure (h) and standing % with vest. *** = p<0.001 for within group comparison (Three weeks vs baseline) using Wilcoxon signed rank-sum test.
