First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at what happens to appetite when physically active men aged 40-55 suddenly become inactive for two weeks. Forty healthy, normal-weight men who bike or exercise regularly will either keep their routine or cut steps to under 1,500 per day. Researchers will measure how much they eat and their food cravings to see if inactivity messes with appetite control.
