As indicated by Bonferroni post-hoc results, the interaction of time × intervention was significant between aerobic vs combined (p = 0.018) and combined vs control (p = 0.001) for perceived satiety at 60 min after a standard meal (aerobic n = 36, combined n = 34). Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-hoc showed that the interaction of time × intervention for energy intake was significant between intervention and control groups, where both exercise groups showed reduced energy intake (aerobic vs control p = 0.021, combined vs control p = 0.015) compared to controls. The figure depicts that the reduction of #bodyweight/BMI [32] and the reduction of *HbA1c occur due to increased energy expenditure [33] and decreased energy intake following combined exercises. The contribution of combined exercises to perceived satiety and energy intake is indicated
