About this study

Official title: Nutritional Responses to Acute Exercise: Test of the Influence of the Nature of the Meal: EXHALIM Study

The management of body mass and energy balance requires a better understanding and mastery of the interactions between our daily activities, such as physical exercise, and the control of our food intake.

Over the past 15 years, many studies have focused on the potential effects of physical exercise on this satiety cascade and on subsequent food intake, in many populations. Thus, both in normal-weight subjects and in patients suffering from overweight and obesity, it has been shown that the performance of an acute exercise of moderate intensity promotes a transient anorectic effect, reducing feelings of hunger post -exercise, and can even induce a reduction in subsequent food intake. In healthy young adults, recent results show that high-intensity physical exercise can reduce feelings of hunger and increase the satietogenic effect of a meal compared to a control condition and low-intensity exercise. intensity. Nevertheless, it seems that the food reward (which refers to the notion of food reward) does not respond in the same way, the authors not observing any change in either liking or wanting, regardless of exercise intensity. Importantly, this literature uses ad libitum test meals, wishing to assess both satietogenic, hedonic and purely nutritional responses (assessing the amount of food intake). Nevertheless, these sensory and hedonic responses to food intake have recently been shown to be sensitive to the composition of the meal and its caloric quantity, which could induce a significant bias as to the conclusions on the effects of physical exercise. Indeed, the use of meals ad libitum, by definition, leads to caloric intake and different meal compositions. Thus, it is possible that the results obtained are strongly impacted by the nature of the test meal more than by the exercise itself. It therefore remains uncertain today to conclude as to the effects of physical exercise on the factors of the satietogenic cascade, since beyond physical exercise, the test meals compared are not identical. It therefore seems important today to develop a more coherent and adapted methodology, to better study the food and satietogenic responses to our daily activities.

In this context, the present project aims to compare the satietogenic response to a meal following acute exercise according to the nature of this meal (ad libitum versus calibrated) in healthy adults.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Exercice and mealBehavioural

    The participants will carry out four experimental visits in a randomized order: CON_Calibré: control condition with a calibrated test meal; CON_AdLib: control condition with an ad libium test meal; EX_Calibré: exercise condition with a calibrated test meal; EX_AdLib: exercise condition with an ad libitm test meal. During each of the conditions, the participants will join the laboratory at 8:00 a.m. and will receive a calibrated breakfast. They will be asked at 11:00 a.m. either to rest in a semi-recumbent position for 30 minutes (CON conditions) or to perform a pedaling exercise on an ergocycle at 65% of their estimated aerobic capacity for 30 minutes. A test meal will be served to participants at 12:00 p.m., either ad libitum or calibrated. Appetite sensations will be assessed at regular intervals during each condition and their food reward preferences and ratio assessed 15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the test meals.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Satiety Quotient

    Ratio between the energy content of the meal and the self-reported appetite feelings

    Measured: During every experimental sessions, right after the lunch

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Food reward

    The liking and wanting for food items using a computerized questionnaire

    Measured: During every experimental sessions,15 minutes before and 15 minutes after the lunch

  2. Ad libitum food intake

    energy ingested at a diner buffet meal

    Measured: During every experimental sessions at diner

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercice and meal in people with Appetite Control and Exercise, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lise LACLAUTRE (+33473754963, promo_interne_drci@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Satiety Quotient (time frame: During every experimental sessions, right after the lunch). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2023.
