Carbohydrate Intake and Gut Hormone Release During Exercise

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

It is well known that following a single session of moderate-to-high intensity exercise individuals experience a temporary suppression of hunger and a delay in the commencement of eating. This effect is believed to be due to changes in blood concentrations of specific hormones released from the gut that influence appetite.

Individuals undertaking physical activity often consume foods immediately before exercise in order to improve their performance. However, it is currently unknown whether this eating practice influences the gut hormone response to exercise as well as how hungry an individual feels post-exercise.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of consuming a sugary (carbohydrate) drink immediately before starting an exercise session on the concentration of these gut hormones as well as the amount of food eaten in the hours following exercise completion.
