    Changes in Energy Intake and Appetite Following Different Intensities of Aerobic Exercise
    (North Dakota State University, 2019) Shaughnessy, Keith Alan
    This research evaluated changes in appetite, energy intake, and body composition following 15 sessions of both moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in overweight and sedentary adults (n = 4 female, n = 2 male). All subjects performed both MICT and HIIT. Paired t-tests were used to analyze data between testing sessions. A repeated-measures ANOVA along with a Bonferroni adjustment was used for measures over the study duration. Chronic appetite was unchanged over the study duration, but appetite post-exercise was 5.7% higher in HIIT (p = 0.03) in the first session compared to MICT. Energy intake was reduced within subjects (p = 0.023) over the study. Systolic blood pressure was significantly reduced (p = 0.027) between post-testing 1 and post-testing 2. While this study suggests aerobic exercise has no effect on chronic feelings of appetite, more research is needed as energy intake was reduced.
