ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different lengths of exercise can affect appetite after eating a meal. Researchers are looking at two types of exercise—short bursts of 10 minutes and longer sessions of 30 minutes—to see how they influence feelings of hunger and the hormones that control appetite in healthy men. The trial will also explore when during the exercise these changes happen and whether the exercise affects how much food participants eat afterward.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be males aged 18 to 65 who have maintained a stable body weight for at least six months. Those who have certain health issues, food allergies, or who smoke won't be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect to take part in different exercise sessions and meal tests, and your appetite and hormone levels will be monitored. This research aims to help us understand better how exercise might influence our eating habits.
