Health Spotlight... Treadmill Exercise Suppresses
Appetite, Controls Weight Loss, Study Suggests
A new study suggests that 60 minutes of aerobic exercise on a treadmill is more
effective in suppressing the urge for food than 90 minutes of weightlifting.
The research involved 11 male university students who participated in three types of
sessions. In one, they ran for 60 minutes on a treadmill and then rested for seven hours.
In another, they did 90 minutes of weight lifting and then rested for 6.5 hours. In the
third session, they did no exercise.
The participants received two meals during each session and also reported their
hunger levels at various points during each session. The researchers measured the
level of two major appetite hormones: ghrelin (which stimulates appetite) and peptide
YY (which suppresses appetite). Ghrelin was discovered in Japan only 10 years ago,
and Peptide YY was discovered by scientists less than 25 years ago.
The results of the study showed:
-
Running on a treadmill for 60 minutes lowered Ghrelin and increased Peptide
-
YY levels, both linked to suppressing appetite
-
Lifting weights for 90 minutes also caused Ghrelin levels to decrease, but there
-
was no significant change in Peptide YY levels
While both types of exercise suppressed hunger, aerobic exercise resulted in
greater suppression of hunger. The appetite hormone effects of both types of
exercise lasted for a few hours. The findings were published online in the American
Journal of Physiology  Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
"The finding that hunger is suppressed during and immediately after vigorous treadmill
running is consistent with previous studies indicating that strenuous aerobic exercise
transiently suppresses appetite," senior author David J. Stensel, of Loughborough
University, said in an American Physiological Society news release.
He said the findings may lead to the development of more effective exercise to help
control weight.
