Exercise Affects Hunger Hormones: Resistance and Aerobic Training Change Ghrelin and PYY Differently

evidence
The takeaway

Resistance and aerobic exercise differentially influenced circulating ghrelin and PYY levels in healthy males, with exercise type determining which appetite hormones change — informing exercise prescriptions for appetite management.
