Appetite and energy intake following a bout of circuit resistance training in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients: a preliminary randomized controlled trial

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to investigate the effects of circuit resistance training (CRT) on post-exercise appetite and energy intake in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. A secondary aim was to evaluate the reproducibility of these effects. Methods:Seven participants met the eligibility criteria and, in a randomized order, participated in a nonexercise control session (CTL) and two bouts of CRT. The CRT involved 10 exercises with 3 sets of 15repetition maximum per exercise, performed using a vertical loading approach, with each set interspersed with 45 s of walking. Expired gases were collected 10 min before, during, and for 40 min after CTL and CRT to calculate the net energy cost of the exercise and the relative energy intake post-CTL/CRT. Hunger, fullness, desire to eat, and energy intake were assessed at baseline and for 12 h after CTL and CRT.Results: Compared to CTL, hunger, desire to eat (P < 0.001), and relative energy intake (P < 0.05) were significantly lower after CRT, whereas the perception of fullness was significantly higher (P < 0.001).Significant differences between CTL and CRT were observed only for the first 9 h of the post-exercise period for hunger, fullness, and desire to eat (P < 0.05). No significant differences in appetite or relative energy intake were observed between the two bouts of CRT.Conclusions: A bout of CRT elicited decreased post-exercise appetite and relative energy intake in chronic hemiparetic stroke patients. Decreased appetite perceptions lasted for around 9 h and were reproducible.

Spirulina supplementation and circuit resistance training (CRT) reduce serum Asprosin and appetite and improve energy balance in overweight and obese Men

“…In the present study, the weight and MBF decreased and energy expenditure increased signi cantly in the training groups, which may explain the decrease in ASP level in these groups. One of the mechanisms involved in reducing weight and fat mass after regular exercise is reducing appetite and calorie intake [13,14,30]. In the present study, after eight weeks of CRT, appetite and calorie intake decreased and energy expenditure increased.…”

“…Recent studies show that resistance training can affect energy expenditure, appetite signals, and fat metabolism and help in reducing the percent body fat [13][14][15]. Circuit resistance training (CRT), as a new training method, apparently has the effectiveness of endurance and resistance training at the same time [14,15]. Resistance training has been shown to signi cantly increase in the level of ASP in women [16].…”
