Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of sprint interval training (SIT) combined with need-support on post-exercise food consumption. The results showed that SIT with psychological need-support significantly decreased post-exercise energy intake from snacks, while traditional moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) did not affect food intake. SIT with need-support is well-tolerated in physically inactive individuals with overweight and offers an alternative to traditional exercise prescription.

Summary: The underconsumption of fiber is concerning due to its association with obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. Adding fiber to consumer products is a practical strategy for addressing this issue. Most fiber types do not significantly affect appetite ratings and energy intakes, but certain viscous fibers and oat fiber may reduce appetite ratings. The variability in research methods and limited studies on fibers contribute to the instability of the current evidence base.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the acute and short-term effects of prebiotics, probiotics, and their combination on appetite, energy intake, and satiety-related hormones. The results showed that the prebiotic and probiotic drinks significantly reduced energy intake compared to the control drink, but there were no significant differences in hunger-satiety scores, serum glucose, insulin, peptide YY, ghrelin, obestatin, and adiponectin concentrations. Further studies are needed to better understand the role of prebiotics and probiotics in satiety-related mechanisms.

Summary: Food intake behavior is influenced by physiological and psychological processes, and the neuroendocrine regulation of food intake involves signals that modulate appetite, satiety, and hunger. Natural plant compounds are being studied for their potential in appetite control, but the research lacks conclusive physiological data, such as anthropometric evaluations and hormone analysis. More systematic clinical studies are needed to decode the hormone patterns regulating hunger and satiety and to correlate brain connectivity with appetite and satiety.

Summary: Nutritional, endocrine, and neurological signals converge in the brain to regulate feeding behavior and energy balance. The leptin, glucocorticoid, and GLP1 systems play important roles in this process. Leptin is crucial for controlling appetite, while glucocorticoids regulate energy balance adaptation to stress and excessive adiposity. GLP1 regulates insulin secretion and satiety through central and peripheral signaling systems. This review explores the interactions between these hormone systems at the central and peripheral levels and their roles in dysregulated intake, obesity, lipodystrophy, and eating behavior disorders.

Summary: The study found that overweight individuals with pre-diabetes who failed to achieve a body weight loss of >= 8% of the baseline value after a 2-month low-energy diet maintained a lower daily energy deficit and had less favorable changes in susceptibility to hunger and appetite sensations. Additionally, they did not benefit in terms of improving sleep quality. These results indicate that these individuals may have behavioral vulnerability that could be exacerbated by prolonged diet restriction.

Summary: The study evaluated the effectiveness of the 'Structured Health Intervention For Truckers' (SHIFT) program on long-distance heavy goods vehicle drivers. It found that at the 6-month follow-up, drivers who participated in the program experienced significantly higher daily step counts, reduced sitting time, and increased moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. However, these differences were not maintained at the 16-18-month follow-up. The program shows potential in promoting physical activity among this underserved occupational group.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of a 6-month health intervention on truck drivers' cardiovascular reactivity to stress and whether cardiovascular reactivity was predictive of depression, anxiety, or fatigue symptoms at 6-month follow-up. The findings showed a negative relationship between 0-month diastolic blood pressure reactivity and 6-month persistent fatigue, and trends toward negative relationships between systolic blood pressure reactivity and future anxiety and fatigue symptoms at 6 months. These findings have important implications for fatigue issues in truck drivers.

Summary: This review discusses the potential mechanisms by which exercise can benefit people with kidney disease, such as chronic inflammation, cardiovascular health, lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, sarcopenia, and bone health. The authors emphasize the need for further research to enhance the benefits of exercise for this population. Existing evidence suggests that exercise can improve chronic inflammation, cardiorespiratory function, muscle and bone strength, and metabolic markers in patients with chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, or kidney transplants. However, the underlying mechanisms and clinical evidence are limited, primarily from short-duration exercise intervention studies. More research is needed to confirm these mechanisms and provide evidence for targeted exercise interventions in larger populations.

Summary: Physical inactivity and obesity are widespread among Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) drivers. A bespoke structured lifestyle intervention called 'SHIFT' was evaluated for its effectiveness in addressing these issues. The study found that drivers with obesity who participated in the intervention showed positive changes in daily steps, sedentary time, body weight, and other anthropometric outcomes compared to obese drivers in the control group. However, the intervention had no effects on drivers without obesity and at the follow-up stage. These findings suggest that obesity classification plays a role in drivers' response to a multi-component health behavior change intervention.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
