Description

Sihan Wang and coauthors published a 2026 randomized crossover trial testing whether endurance exercise changes eating in ways that blunt its blood sugar benefits. Fifty-four healthy college students completed five-day periods of moderate exercise, vigorous exercise, and no-exercise control in turn. Food was freely available and weighed daily, while blood sugar was checked fasting and after a glucose drink.

Neither exercise level raised total calorie intake. Vigorous exercise did cut vegetable intake by about 16 percent and raised added cooking oil intake. Both exercise levels lowered glucose after the test drink. The team also checked the exercise-diet pattern against diabetes risk in the UK Biobank cohort. The findings suggest compensation shows up in food choices rather than total amount, a nuance for exercise advice.
