Background: Acute exercise alters appetite-regulating hormones like peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and ghrelin, suppressing appetite and reducing food intake. The effect of exercise on hunger and satiety has been shown to vary by body composition, sex, and habitual physical activity, but the influence of aging is less understood.
Objectives: We aimed to examine age-related differences in the effect of acute exercise on appetite-regulating hormones.
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.

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.
