PURPOSE: Effects of exercise on subsequent energy intake are well documented, but whether preexercise energy intake is affected by future planned exercise is unknown. This study investigated the effect of planned late-afternoon exercise on appetite and energy intake before (breakfast and lunch) and after (evening meal/snacks) exercise.
METHODS: Twenty healthy, active participants (10 male; age, 23 ± 5 yr; body mass index 23.7 ± 3.2 kg·m; V˙O2peak, 44.1 ± 5.4 mL·kg··min) completed randomized, counterbalanced exercise (EX) and resting (REST) trials. After trial notification, participants were provided ad libitum breakfast (0800 h) and lunch (1200 h) in the laboratory, before completing 1-h exercise (30-min cycling, 30-min running) at 75%-80% maximal HR (EX, 2661 ± 783 kJ) or 1-h supine rest (REST, 310 ± 58 kJ) 3 h after lunch. Participants were provided a food pack (pasta meal/snacks) for consumption after exercise (outside laboratory). Appetite was measured regularly, and meal and 24-h energy intake were quantified.
RESULTS: Ad libitum energy intake was greater during EX at lunch (EX, 3450 ± 1049 kJ; REST, 3103 ± 927 kJ; P = 0.004), but similar between trials at breakfast (EX, 2656 ± 1291 kJ; REST, 2484 ± 1156 kJ; P = 0.648) and dinner (EX, 6249 ± 2216 kJ; REST, 6240 ± 2585 kJ; P = 0.784). Total 24-h energy intake was similar between trials (P = 0.388), meaning that relative energy intake (24-h energy intake minus EX/REST energy expenditure) was reduced during EX (EX, 9694 ± 3313 kJ; REST, 11,517 ± 4023 kJ; P = 0.004).
CONCLUSION: Energy intake seems to be increased in anticipation of, rather than in response to, aerobic exercise, but the increase was insufficient to compensate for energy expended during exercise, meaning that aerobic exercise reduced energy balance relative to rest.
