Abstract
To determine the means and mechanisms by which diet composition and physical activity influence appetite and energy balance regulation in humans. The project will examine how exercise duration, intensity and diet composition interact to influence nutrient oxidation and storage, changes in plasma metabolites, hormonal responses and how these physiological parameters influence quantitative and qualitative feeding behaviour, energy balance and subjective feelings of hunger, satiety and appetite. The novelty of this project is an integration of the techniques of whole-body physiology with the approaches of the behavioural sciences to evaluate the impact of exercise and diet composition on the regulation of human energy balance.
