Effect of Acute Exercise on Sensory and Hedonic Responses to a Fixed Meal in Adolescents With Obesity

Participants will receive at 08:00 am a calibrated breakfast of 500kcal. They should not perform physical exercise during the day. They will be asked at 11 a.m. to cycle for 30 minutes at 65% of the maximal capacities and their energy expenditure will be measured by indirect calorimetry. At 11 a.m., teenagers will receive a calibrated meal of 800 kcal respecting the nutritional recommendations for this age. Questionnaires on feelings of hunger will be distributed to them at regular intervals. They will also be asked to complete a 10-minute computer exercise to assess their relationship to food before and after lunch (LFPQ. Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire, Liking/ wanting). Finally, from 60 minutes after the midday test meal, teenagers will have access to an ad libitum buffet for one hour.

Teenagers should not perform any physical activity during the day and they will be asked to stay at 11 a.m., for 30 minutes, resting in a semi-supine position.
