Clinical Trial Summary

Interval exercise involves short bouts of high intensity exercise interspersed with periods of lower intensity exercise. The benefit is that a shorter total duration of exercise may be required to achieve cardiovascular benefits similar to or even superior to traditional longer bouts of steady state endurance exercise. However how this type of exercise affects appetite and energy intake, particularly in overweight and obese females is not well known.

This study involves two trials of exercise, one at high intensity and one at low intensity, followed by a buffet lunch, in overweight and obese females.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in energy expenditure	caloric expenditure measured via indirect calorimetry	immediately pre-breakfast, immediately pre-exercise, during exercise, and immediately post-exercise.
Primary	Change in energy intake	measured via standardized lunch	immediately post exercise
Primary	Change in appetite	measured via circulating hormones leptin and acylated ghrelin	immediately pre-breakfast, immediately post-breakfast, immediately post-exercise and immediately pre-lunch
Primary	Change in subjective hunger	via visual analogue scale 100 mm, higher scores indicate greater hunger	baseline, immediately pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, immediately pre-lunch, and immediately post-lunch
