MAXED Study

The goal of this study is to better understand driven exercise in those with eating disorder symptoms and characterize differences in cognitive, affective, and biological response to exercise among adolescents and young adults with eating disorders. This research is to provide better understanding of exercise response among those with eating disorder symptoms in order to develop better exercise-based interventions.

We are recruiting medically stable female participants (ages 16-25) with symptoms of disordered eating OR no history of disordered eating.

Participants will be asked to exercise, take part in a food challenge, and wear an activity tracker (no display screen) for 8 days. They will participate in 4 study visits that include interviews, computer tasks, food-challenge tasks, and blood draws.

Participants can earn up to $300 for participating!
