Activity at Ventilation Threshold on Appetite and Food Intake in Boys

Effect of Activity at the Ventilation Threshold on Appetite and Food Intake After a Glucose Drink in Normal Weight, Overweight and Obese Boys

The investigators hypothesize exercise increases short term appetite and food intake, and interferes with satiety and satiations to a preload in normal weight, overweight and obese boys.

The effect of exercise (EXR) on short-term food intake (FI) and subjective appetite was investigated in normal weight (NW), overweight (OW) and obese (OB) boys were randomized into 4 treatments. Each boy consumed either a non-caloric sweetened control (CON) or GLU drink after either exercise (EXR) or sedentary activity. Subjects exercised at their ventilation threshold (VeT).
