Acute effects of brisk walking on urges to eat chocolate, affect, and responses to a stressor and chocolate cue. An experimental study
The study aim ed to investigate the effects of an acute exercise bout on urges to eat chocolate , affect , and psychological and physiological responses to stress and a chocolate cue . Following 3 days of chocolate abstinence , 25 regular chocolate eaters , took part , on separate days , in two r and omly ordered conditions , in a within-subject design : a 15-min brisk semi-self-paced brisk walk or a passive control . Following each , participants completed two tasks : the Stroop colour-word interference task , and unwrapping and h and ling a chocolate bar .

Exercise  reduced chocolate urges and there was a trend towards attenuated urges in response to the chocolate cue . Exercise also attenuated SBP/DBP increases in response to the stressor and chocolate cue . The effects on urges varied across the dimensions of the
