Effect of Acute Exercise on Sensory and Hedonic Responses to a Fixed Meal in Adolescents With Obesity

While long considered independently, energy expenditure and energy intake have been shown to interact. Fot the last 20 years, the litterature has been describing tyhe effects of an acute bout of exercise on subsequent energy intake and appetitive responses, indicating a potenital anorexigenic effect of intensive exercise in adolescents with obesity. These studies suggest a decrease in hunger, redcued satiety and modified food reward responses. These results remain however obtained in studies using post exercise ad libitum test meals and this nature of the meal might ahve impact these responses. The present work tends to assess the effect of acute exercise on subsequent appetite and food reward responses to a fixed meal, in adolescents with obesity.
