Brief summary

The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of realizing an exercise right before or right after a meal of on energy intake, appetite feelings and food reward in adolescents with obesity.

Detailed description

The present study will compare the nutritional response to the realisation of an acute exercise right before or right after lunch 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 right before lunch; iii) one session with an acute exercise realized right after 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.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALCON

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.

BEHAVIORALEX-MEAL

Condition with an acute exercise set right before lunch The adolescents will be asked to complete a 30 minutes exercise set at 65% of their capacities (cycling) right before ad ad libitum lunch meal. 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.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in energy intake measured during an ad libitum buffet meal (in kcal)day 1 , day 8, day 15food intake will be measured ad libitum during a lunch buffet. The adolescents will be offered an ad libitum buffet-type meal composed based on their food intake preferences. Their intake will be weighted using an electronic food scale by a member of the investigation team and then analysed using Bilnuts software.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Hunger feelingsday 1 , day 8, day 15hunger area under the curve will be assessed using visual analogue scale through a the day
Food rewardday 1 , day 8, day 15The participants will be asked to complete a validated computer-based procedure to measure food reward (Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire; LFPQ) (Finlayson, King et al. 2008).
