Study reveals how exercise changes your eating habits
NCT ID NCT07082582
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how being physically trained versus untrained affects food intake and gut hormones. Researchers will measure how much and how fast 60 healthy adults (aged 18-35) drink different liquid meals. The goal is to understand if regular training changes eating behavior and hormone responses, which could help improve diet and exercise advice.
