The effects of additional weight on a person’s body are dramatically demonstrated with this teaching aid which simulates the ‘look’ and ‘feel’ of excess body fat. By inserting weights of varying increments into the vest’s interior pocket, the wearer can experience the additional weight and limited range of motion associated with obesity. The adult version includes approx. 9 kg in weights (3 x 2.3kg [circa 5lbs] weights and 2 x 1.1kg [circa 2.4lbs] weights) The vest features an informative front panel that describes the effects of excess weight on several body organs. Useful for group discussions about healthy eating.
