A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the relationship between exercise intensity and its effects on energy expenditure and food intake in healthy young adult males. Participants will undergo a 14-day intervention, including laboratory assessments of body composition and energy expenditure, as well as monitoring of dietary intake using a specially designed feeding table. The study aims to determine whether moderate to high intensity exercise influences basal energy expenditure and macronutrient preferences. Data will be collected through various monitoring devices and subjective assessments of hunger and food preferences.
