Thesis title

TheÌýAcuteÌýEffect of Exercise on Appetite Regulation in Hot and Cold Environmental Conditions in Humans

Abstract

Strategies to prevent and treat overweight and obesity are required to reduce the prevalence of cardiometabolic disease.ÌýReducing energy intake is a key component of achieving a negative energy balance, and will contribute to weight loss if maintained.ÌýHeat and exercise have both been shown to attenuate hunger and energy intake in the short term. Thus, this study aims to investigate the acute effect of exercise performed in different environmental temperatures on gut hormone concentrations andÌýsubsequent energy intake.
