Biological and behavioral predictors of relative energy intake after acute exercise.

Energy intake in the post-exercise state is highly variable and compensatory eating - i.e., (over-) compensation of the expended energy via increased post-exercise energy intake - occurs in some individuals but not others.

One step at a time: Physical activity is linked to positive interpretations of ambiguity.

Background: Extensive research has established a clear positive relationship between physical activity (PA), even in small amounts, and psychological well-being, including benefits for emotional and mental health (e.g., decreased depression).

Exercise and the Timing of Snack Choice: Healthy Snack Choice is Reduced in the Post-Exercise State.

Acute exercise can induce either a compensatory increase in food intake or a reduction in food intake, which results from appetite suppression in the post-exercise state. The timing of food choice-choosing for immediate or later consumption-has been found to influence the healthfulness of foods consumed. To examine both of these effects, we tested in our study whether the timing of food choice interacts with exposure to exercise to impact food choices such that choices would differ when made prior to or following an exercise bout.

Monitoring hydration status pre- and post-training among university athletes using urine color and weight loss indicators.

Objective: To investigate the hydration status pre- and post-training among university athletes using urine color and weight loss as indicators.

Participants: Participants were 52 university athletes training for campus games in a developing country.

Methods: Pre- and post-training urine specimens were compared with a standard urine color scale.
