Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of the timing (30 vs. 90 minutes) between a fixed exercise and the following test meal on energy intake, appetite feelings and food reward in adolescents with obesity.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The present study will compare the nutritional response to the realisation of an acute exercise 90 minutes or 30 minutes before an ad libitum buffet meal in adolescents with obesity. 18 adolescents with obesity will be asked to randomly complete three experimental sessions: i) one control session (rest); ii) one session with an acute exercise realized 90 minutes before lunch; iii) one session with the same exercise performed 30 minutes before lunch. Their ad libitum energy intake will be assessed during lunch as well as at dinner time. Appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals and their food reward in response to the lunch will also be assessed.

Obese adolescents

18 adolescents with obesity are involved and will perform the three conditions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CON

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

. Control condition without exercise / rest condition. The adolescents will be asked to remain quiet and at rest during the morning and will receive an ad libitum meal at lunch and dinner times. Their food reward will be assessed before and after lunch. Their appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals.

EX-30

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Condition with an acute exercise set 30 minutes before lunch The adolescents will be asked to complete a 30 minutes exercise set at 65% of their capacities (cycling), 30 minutes before lunch. Lunch will be served ad libitum as well as diner. Their food reward will be assessed before and after lunch. Their appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals.

EX-90

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

condition with an acute exercise set 90 minutes before lunch. The adolescents will be asked to complete a 30 minutes exercise set at 65% of their capacities (cycling), 30 minutes before lunch. Lunch will be served ad libitum as well as diner. Their food reward will be assessed before and after lunch. Their appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals.
