Study of inactivity and appetite in healthy men
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how two weeks of being inactive (not exercising and walking very little) changes appetite and hunger in healthy, active men. It may help us understand why some people gain weight when they stop being active.
