What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to explore the immediate effects of two different durations of exercise (10 minutes and 30 minutes) on appetite and appetite-regulating hormones in healthy men. Participants will undergo a screening visit to assess eligibility and will complete treadmill tests to determine their maximum oxygen uptake. The study will compare three groups: a control group with no exercise, a short exercise group, and a prolonged exercise group, all following a standardized meal protocol. The researchers will measure changes in appetite and energy intake after exercise to understand the relationship between physical activity and appetite regulation.
