The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of an exercise alone versus. An exercise followed by the ingestion of an energy replacement snack on the following energy intake, food reward and appetite feelings in adolescents with obesity.

Detailed Description

The present study will compare the nutritional response to the realisation of an acute exercise with and without an energy replacement snack on the following energy intake 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 during the morning; iii) one session with the same exercise followed by a snack covering the exercise-induced energy expenditure. Their ad libitum energy intake will be assessed at the following meal 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.

Measurement of hunger feelingsat day 1

hunger area under the curve will be assessed using visual analogue scale through a the day (Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire; LFPQ) Briefly, the LFPQ provides measures of the wanting and liking for an array of food images, varying in both fat content and taste
