The use of visual analogue scales to assess motivation to eat in human subjects: a review of their reliability and validity with an evaluation of new hand-held computerized systems for temporal tracking of appetite ratings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability and validity of visual analogue scales (VAS) in terms of their ability to predict feeding behavior, their sensitivity to experimental manipulations, and their reproducibility are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy intake and appetite are suppressed by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in obese men.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GLP-1 decreases feelings of hunger and reduces energy intake in obese humans and one possible mechanism for this finding might be an increased satiety primarily mediated by gastric vagal afferent signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Contribution of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviours to the Growth and Development of Children and Adolescents Implications for Overweight and Obesity

TL;DR: In this paper, a review assesses the evidence that identifies the important role of physical activity in the growth, development and physical health of young people, owing to its numerous physical and psychological health benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Individual variability following 12 weeks of supervised exercise: identification and characterization of compensation for exercise-induced weight loss

TL;DR: These results demonstrate that expressing the exercise-induced change in body weight as a group mean conceals the large inter-individual variability inBody weight and compensatory responses.
Journal Article

Exercise-induced suppression of appetite : effects on food intake and implications for energy balance

TL;DR: It is indicated that exercise-induced anorexia can be characterized by a brief suppression of hunger, accompanied by a delay to the onset of eating, which may best be measured by the resistance to begin eating rather than the amount of food consumed.
