First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a 30-minute exercise session changes hunger and appetite-related hormones in healthy men who are also eating fewer calories. Researchers will compare three groups: one with normal eating, one with severe calorie restriction, and one with severe calorie restriction plus exercise. The goal is to understand if exercise can help manage hunger during a diet.
