Investigating in Humans the Impact of Training Status on Dietary Consumption With Direct Measurement of Ingestive Behaviour

The goal of the research project is to investigate the influence of training status on ingestive behavior and postprandial physiological responses in the human body. The investigators aim to understand how regular training influences the choice and amount of food consumed, as well as the associated physiological processes, including changes in the spectrum of gut hormones. The investigators are particularly interested in how these factors differ between individuals who train regularly compared to those who do not follow a structured training program. The research project aims to translate findings from previous animal experiments to humans and to examine whether and how training affects food handling and physiological responses, similar to observations made in rodents. This information could significantly contribute to improving recommendations for diet and physical activity in the population.
