TL;DR

The results demonstrate that an acute but substantial increase in energy expenditure due to intense exercise does not automatically increase hunger or EI within 48 h, and indicates the absence of any strong coupling between EE and EI in the short-term.

Abstract

This study indicates that a high dose of exercise in one day failed to have any effect on EI within the same day or on the day immediately after exercise, compared with days of no exercise. These results demonstrate that an acute but substantial increase in energy expenditure (EE) due to intense exercise does not automatically increase hunger or EI within 48 h. This indicates the absence of any strong coupling between EE and EI in the short-term, probably as a result of food intake being held in place by environmental contingencies and short-term pre-absorptive physiological responses arising from eating itself.
