the aim of this study was to compare the effect of one swimming session in different water temperatures (23, 33 and 38̊ c) on the appetite, calorie intake, calorie consumption, food liking, and the amount of blood lactate in female students. the research design was semi-experimental and 12 female volunteers (mean age 20.83 ± 1.3 yr, bmi 20.46 ± 2.68 kg/m², weight 53.6 ± 5.46 kg) from university ...

In this paper, we propose a novel walking route navigation system for fitness walkers effective for health maintenance. Recently, lifestyle-related disease has been increasing in the world. It is important for people to keep balance between the calorie intake and the calorie consumption. We focus on calorie consumption by walking, because walking is on effective exercise for maintaining and pro...

This paper proposes a finite mixture model (FMM) to model the behavioral transition of calorie consumption with an assumption that nutrition consumption is a mixture of two different behavioral stages: a poor stage and an affluent stage. Based on 387 calorie-income elasticities collected from 90 primary studies, our results identify that the threshold income for calorie demand transition is 459...

Aims To investigate the impact of unit and calorie information on drinking behaviour in an ad libitum taste test paradigm. Methods In this experimental human laboratory study, participants were randomized to one of four conditions, balanced by gender, using a 2 (unit information: present vs. absent) × 2 (calorie information: present vs. absent) between-subjects design. The percentage of beer ...

Obesity is a heterogeneous condition with obese individuals displaying different eating patterns. Growing evidence suggests that there is a subgroup of obese adults that is marked by frequent and intense food cravings and addiction-like consumption of high-calorie foods. Little is known, however, about such a subgroup of obese individuals in childhood and adolescence. In the present study, a sa...

The present study investigated the effect of taxing high-energy dense products and subsidizing low-energy dense products on changes in calorie consumption. More specifically, we hypothesized that 'more impulsive' individuals were less influenced by such pricing strategies compared to 'less impulsive' individuals. Contrary to our hypothesis, results showed that 'more impulsive' individuals adjus...

BACKGROUND Low-calorie and no-calorie sweeteners (LCSs) have emerged as alternatives to added sugars. Research suggests that consumption among all Americans is increasing, yet it is unknown whether consumption trends differ among population subgroups. OBJECTIVE Our study aimed to assess recent national trends in LCS consumption among children and other demographic subgroups in the United Stat...
