Experimental design
SE, HED
Using a within‐measures, crossover design, participants completed two experimental trials in a random order separated by at least 1 week: (1) exercise and (2) control. The study design is presented in Figure Schematic of the study protocol. (a) Timeline of the trial procedures and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan protocol. Scans were conducted before and after 60 min of running and rest and involved iterations of the following sequences: (1) 3D sagittal T1‐weighted fast spoiled gradient echo (FSPGR) anatomical; (2) pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labelling (pCASL); (3) task‐based blood‐oxygen‐level‐dependent (BOLD) fMRI; and (4) spin‐echo echo‐planar imaging (SE EPI). Ratings of perceived appetite were measured using visual analogue scales (VAS). (b) Block design of the task‐based BOLD fMRI scan. Participants viewed eight blocks containing visually matched images of high‐ and very high‐energy density foods (HED) (total
