Interventions

15 males performed either one (1FOOT

n= 7) or three (3FOOT

n= 8) 60-min football training sessions. On day 1, participants arrived at the laboratory at approximately 08:00 hrs after an overnight fast (>10 h). Following a 15-min seated rest period and debrie

day 7) or 3 days (3FOOT

days 5, 6, 7) of football training. On day 8, they repeated the high-fat meal and blood sampling for the 6 hours following the meal. To control for confounding variables, participants were instructe

Postprandial insulin levels in blood taken at 0.75, 2, 4 and 6 h after a high-fat meal on days 1 and 8 3. Postprandial glucose levels in blood taken at 0.75, 2, 4 and 6 h after a high-fat meal on days 1 and 8 4. Postprandial non-esterified fatty acid levels in blood taken at 0.75, 2, 4 and 6 h after a high-fat meal on days 1 and 8 5. Postprandial high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels in blood taken at 0.75, 2, 4 and 6 h after a high-fat meal on days 1 and 8 6.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. Inflammatory marker (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], IL-6, monocytes, macrophages, leukocytes) levels in blood taken at 0.75, 2, 4 and 6 h after a high-fat meal on days 1 and 8 2. Activity profiles recorded during each football training session using a wGT3X-BT actigraph placed on the hip and calculated using the integrated tri-axial accelerometer Freedson vector magnitude equation 3. Subjective rating of perceived exertion assessed within 10 min of completing the training by participants verbally provided their exertion level of the training intervention on the Borg CR10 scale	—
