Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pediatric Obesity
Interventions
Behavioral: CON . control condition without exercise / rest condition
Behavioral: Def-Mixed. Condition with a mixed energy deficit induced by exercise + dietary restriction.
Behavioral: Def-EI. Condition with an energy-restriction energy deficit
Registration Number
NCT04734639
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to compare the effect of iso-energetic energy deficits induced by energy restriction alone or exercise + dietary restriction (Mixed deficit) on energy intake and appetite feelings in adolescents with obesity.

Detailed Description

The present study will compare the nutritional response to an energy deficit of 500 kcal induced once by dietary restriction alone and once by a mixed deficit (50% by exercise and 50% by dietary restriction) (compared with a control condition). 18 adolescents with obesity will be asked to randomly complete three experimental sessions: i) one control session (CON); ii) one session with a dietary-induced energy deficit (Def-EI); iii) one session with a mixed deficit (50% by exercise and 50% by dietary restriction) (Def-Mixed).

Their ad libitum energy intake will be assessed at dinner time. Appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals and their food reward in response to the lunch will also be assessed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from different intervention of energy intake measured during an ad libitum buffet meal (in kcal).day 1, day 8, day 15

food intake will be measured ad libitum during a dinner 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 Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hunger feelingsday 1, day 8, day 15

hunger area under the curve will be assessed using visual analogue scale through a the day

Food rewardday 1, day 8, day 15

The 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).
