We conducted a systematic review to examine the effect of overnight-fasted versus fed exercise on weight loss and body composition. Seven electronic databases were searched using terms related to fasting and exercise. Inclusion criteria were: randomised and non-randomised comparative studies; published in English; included healthy adults; compared exercise following an overnight fast to exercise in a fed state; used a standardized pre-exercise meal for the fed condition; and measured body mass and/or body composition. A total of five studies were included involving 96 participants. Intra-group analysis for the effect of fasted and fed aerobic exercise revealed trivial to small effect sizes on body mass. The inter-group effect for the interventions on body mass was trivial. Intra-group effects were small for % body fat and trivial for lean mass in females, with trivial effects also found for the inter-groups analyses. Whilst this is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate this topic, caution is warranted when interpreting the findings due to the limited number of studies and hence insufficient data. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2(4), p. 1-11 | Publisher: | MDPI AG | Place of Publication: | Switzerland | ISSN: | 2411-5142 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 110699 Human Movement and Sports Science not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 420208 Nutritional epidemiology | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 929999 Health not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 200201 Determinants of health | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
