NCT05365685

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to compare the effect of a low versus moderate versus high energy turnover on energy intake, appetite and food reward, in adolescents with obesity. 18 adolescents with obesity will then complete three experimental sessions in a randomized order: low, high and moderate Energy turnover.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Energy intake measured during an ad libitum buffet meal (in kcal).

    food intake will be measured ad libitum during a dinner buffet. The adolescents will be offered an ad libitum buffet-type meal composed based on their food intake preferences. Their intake will be weighted using an electronic food scale by a member of the investigation team and then analysed using a nutritional software.

    it will be assessed at dinner baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Hunger feelings

    immediately after breakfast/lunch/dinner on day 1

  • Food reward

    it will be assessed at dinner baseline

Study Arms (1)

adolescents with obesity

EXPERIMENTAL

There is only one arm as this is an acute randomized study comparing three different conditions within the same sample of participants.

Behavioral: Low energy turnover

Interventions

Low Energy Turnover. The adolescents with ingest low energy intake at lunch and breakfast and will not perform physical exercise during the day. The will will receive an ad libitum meal at dinner time. Their food reward will be assessed before dinner. Their appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals. Moderate Energy Turnover. The adolescents with ingest moderate energy intake at lunch and breakfast and will perform one 45 minutes physical exercise during the day. The will will receive an ad libitum meal at dinner time. Their food reward will be assessed before dinner. Their appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals. High Energy Turnover. The adolescents with ingest high energy intake at lunch and breakfast and will perform two 45-minute physical exercises during the day. The will will receive an ad libitum meal at dinner time. Their food reward will be assessed before dinner. Their appetite feelings will be assessed at regular intervals.
