About this trial

This study's primary aim is to investigate the acute effect of an exercise bout (30 minutes) on appetite and appetite-regulatory hormone responses during energy restriction. The researchers will also test if the exercise bout influences ad libitum energy intake after a period of energy restriction.

The researchers will compare three groups (control, severe-energy restriction, and severe-energy restriction with exercise) to see if exercise bout, during energy restriction, affects appetite, appetite-regulatory hormones, and energy intake in healthy men.
