Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is determined by measuring blood glucose and insulin concentrations at baseline, 24 hours, 72 hours and 2 weeks post-intervention.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. BMI is calculated as the ratio of mass (kg) to height squared (m2) at baseline and 24 hours post-intervention 2. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is measured using an incremental maximal test at baseline and 72 hours post-intervention 3. Maximal power is measured using a force-velocity test on a cycle ergometer at baseline and 72 hours post-intervention 4. Blood pressure is measured using an automated blood pressure monitor at baseline, 72 hours and 2 weeks post-intervention	—
