Metabolism Evaluation Through Resting Indirect Calorimetry in Bladder Cancer (METRICS)

Bladder Cancer

This study is being done to learn more about energy needs and muscle function during treatment for bladder cancer. These insights can help improve future patient care. The study team found in a previous study that resting energy can be different than what estimates show. Patients with bladder cancer are known to suffer a decline in physical resilience over time. Monitoring patients to understand these changes better could help design future treatments with these vulnerabilities in mind.

Transduction of Sympathetic Neural Activity in Human Obesity Without Hypertension

Obesity

In addition to chronically elevated MSNA, there is a growing recognition that hypertension in states of insulin resistance and obesity may also be attributed to an increased vascular sensitivity to MSNA (1, 2, 13, 36-38). To study this phenomenon, we quantify vascular sensitivity to MSNA using an innovative, moment-to-moment assessment of the blood pressure response following individual bursts of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA), (10, 11, 34, 37). This approach is termed 'sympathetic-vascular transduction (SVT).' We will examine the hypothesis that SVT is exaggerated in obesity and insulin resistance and is attenuated by suppression of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is the overabundance of reactive oxygen species and is another hallmark of hypertension, obesity, and insulin resistance. Oxidative stress can be safely reduced via intravenous infusion of ascorbic acid (Vit C) (4, 28). Therefore, we will use a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled approach to test the hypothesis that elevated SVT will be attenuated by suppression of oxidative stress via ascorbic acid I.V. infusion compared with saline I.V. infusion (placebo) in obese adults with insulin resistance. Our study will identify a unique mechanism that can be targeted to reduce the excessively high prevalence of hypertension and risk for CVD in obesity and insulin resistance.

Comparision of Aerobic Exercise to Aerobic Plus Yoga Exercise for Weight Loss in Adults With Overweight or Obesity.

Obesity and Overweight

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding yoga exercise to a behavioral weight loss intervention improves weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity. It will also provide information about whether this approach to weight loss has additional benefits on other health and fitness measurements. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in weight loss between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in how much physical activity is completed between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in body composition (fat mass, lean body mass) between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in cardiorespiratory fitness the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in muscle strength between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in resting blood pressure between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in food intake or eating behaviors between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in feelings of stress or mood between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in sleep between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? * Is there a difference in the change in mindfulness between the behavioral program that includes aerobic exercise plus yoga compared to the behavioral program that includes only aerobic exercise? Participants will: * Participate in a weight loss program for a period of 12 months that involves attending behavioral weight loss sessions. This involves coming to a session at the research center weekly for the initial 6 months and then every other week for the remaining 6 months. * Attempt to reduce the amount of food that they eat to reduce the calories they consume. * Participate in a combination of aerobic exercise plus yoga or just aerobic exercise. * Keep a record of the food they consume, use a digital scale provided to them, and wear an activity tracker provided to them for the period of 12 months. * Visit the clinical before starting the weight loss program, after 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months to complete measurements of their weight and other measurements to monitor their progress. * Complete exercise sessions in the clinic between weeks 2-6, at month 6, and at month 12 to provide information about how they response to a single session of exercise.

Muscle and Movement With Anti-Obesity Medications

Obesity and Overweight

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about changes in body composition related to obesity medication use, and whether aerobic or resistance exercise training will impact these body composition changes. It will also provide information about whether aerobic or resistance exercise training has additional benefits on other health and fitness measurements. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in the change in body composition (fat mass, lean mass, muscle mass, and bone content) between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in body weight and BMI between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in cardiorespiratory fitness between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in how much physical activity is completed between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in physical function between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in muscle strength between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in resting blood pressure between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in food intake between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? * Is there a difference in the change in health-related quality of life between the standard medical care and the exercise conditions (aerobic training and resistance training)? Participants will: * Participate in an intervention for a period of 6 months that involves being assigned to a no exercise/standard medical care condition, or a supervised exercise condition (aerobic training or resistance training). * Visit the clinical before starting the study and at 6 months to complete study measurements of their body composition and other measurements to monitor their progress. * Complete a brief monitoring session at weeks 6, 12, and 18 across the 6 months. * Complete supervised exercise sessions at the research center 3x per week for 6 months (Participants in the exercise groups only: aerobic training or resistance training).
