Effect of Television Viewing and Exercise on Appetite, Satiety, and Food Intake in Children

The purpose of this study was to describe the effect of 30 min TV viewing with or without simultaneous moderate exercise using a treadmill on subsequent subjective appetite, satiation, and food intake in normal weight 9 to 14 year old children. It is hypothesized that TV viewing during exercise immediately before mealtime affects food intake regulation through its effect on the control of appetite and satiation.
