Abstract
To our knowledge, this is the first study to compare how different phases of the menstrual cycle influence appetite-regulating hormones after acute exercise in healthy women. There were no differences in appetite-regulating hormones between the early follicular and mid luteal phases, whereas ovarian hormones were remarkably increased by cycling exercise in the mid luteal phase. These results highlight that appetite-regulating hormones in response to exercise do not appear to be influenced by the menstrual cycle.
