After training at a higher temperature, a higher level of the YY peptide was registered in the body of the trainees, causing a feeling of satiety.

A team of Australian scientists has come to the conclusion that in order to reduce the intake of calories you consume, you need to exercise at a higher temperature.

The results of the study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, are based on a study of 11 physically active men. Their results were compared during training at a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees.

After training at a higher temperature, a higher level of the YY peptide was recorded in the trainees' bodies, causing a feeling of satiety.

Volunteers were found to consume about 300 calories less if they trained in higher ambient temperatures.

The study's author, Dr. Kim Guelfi of the Department of Sports Science at the University of Western Australia, may help those who want to lose weight.

Scientists warn that in order to achieve the desired effect of hot workouts, care must be taken not to compensate for the reduced calories with another meal during the day.

However, care must be taken not to overheat, as this can lead to the risk of dehydration and heat stroke, the researchers added.
