Why we cite it
A narrative review, from Loughborough University’s School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, of sex-based differences in the effects of exercise on appetite, appetite-regulatory hormones and energy intake. Its consensus is that ”appetite, appetite-regulatory hormone and energy intake responses to acute exercise do not differ between the sexes”, and it reports a trial in which, with exercise energy expenditure matched, ”similar reductions in body weight and body fat were seen between men and women”. It adds that ”Limited evidence suggests women respond to the initiation of exercise training with more robust compensatory alterations in appetite-regulatory hormones than men, but whether this translates to long-term differences is unknown”.
