Appetite-Control and Eating-Behavior Traits Might Not Be Impacted by a Single Weight-Cycling Episode in Weight-Cycling Athletes: Results of the Wave Study
Moderate WC episodes do not seem to impair appetite responses in athletes experienced with WC, likely due to their maintaining high physical activity levels. However, their long-term eating-behavior traits, especially in combat and female athletes, seem negatively affected. Practitioners should consider the long-term impacts of these WC practices on nutritional health.
