The effect of ambient temperature during acute aerobic exercise on short term appetite, energy intake and plasma acylated ghrelin in recreationally active males
Ambient temperature during exercise may affect energy intake regulation. Compared with a temperate (20 °C)
environment, 1 h of running followed by 6 h of rest tended to decrease energy intake from 2 ad libitum meals in a hot (30 °C)
environment but increase energy intake in a cool (10 °C) environment (p = 0.08). Core temperature changes did not appear to
mediate this trend; whether acylated ghrelin is involved is unclear. Further research is warranted to clarify these findings.
