About this trial

This clinical trial's primary aim is to investigate the acute effect of two exercise bouts (short \[10 minutes\] and long \[30 minutes\]) on appetite and appetite-regulatory hormone responses to a standard meal test. The secondary aim is to investigate when the changes in appetite and appetite-regulatory hormones occur during exercise. As an exploratory aim, the researchers will test if the two exercise bouts influence ad libitum energy intake in the periods after the standard meal test. The researchers will compare three groups (control, short exercise, and prolonged exercise) to see if the exercise bouts affect appetite, appetite-regulatory hormones, and energy intake in healthy men.
