Resistance Exercise, Recovery Drinks and Appetite
Resistance Exercise, Recovery Drinks and Appetite
Whilst the effects of manipulating the macronutrient content of foods on appetite and energy
 intake has been relatively well studied at rest, little is known about these responses in a
 post-exercise context. The effect of post-exercise nutrition on recovery from or adaptation
 to exercise has been well studied. However, many exercisers do so for weight management and
 thus any post-exercise nutrition might impact on energy balance and might need to be
 carefully considered. This study will examine the impact of manipulating the composition of a
 recovery drink consumed after resistance exercise on subsequent appetite and energy intake.
Subjects perform a bout of lower body resistance exercise lasting ~50 min and immediately
 post-exercise they consume one of two recovery drinks over a 5 min period. Over the next 60
 min subjective appetite responses will be measured and then 60 min after drink ingestion,
 subjects will consume an ad-libitum meal.
