Can exercise tame teen appetite? a trial puts energy burn to the test
NCT ID NCT05365685
First seen Aug 03, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial asks whether the amount of daily energy turnover—how much energy is used through diet and exercise—can influence appetite and food reward in adolescents with obesity. Eighteen teens aged 12-16 will each complete three sessions with low, moderate, or high energy turnover, and their food intake, hunger, and food preferences will be measured. The goal is to see if higher energy turnover might help regulate eating behavior.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Behavioral intervention comparing low, moderate, and high energy turnover (diet and exercise)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward better ways to manage appetite and food intake in adolescents with obesity, potentially informing lifestyle recommendations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and short-term, so any effects might not last.
