Brief summary

The objectives are to test the acute effects of different bagels containing pulse ingredients on: 1) aerobic endurance and substrate oxidation during exercise 2) response of blood glucose, insulin and appetite to an aerobic exercise session, and 3) food intake two hours following the exercise session. We hypothesize that consumption of bagels containing pulse ingredients 60 minutes before exercise will increase aerobic endurance (lower oxygen consumption), decrease carbohydrate oxidation (greater respiratory quotient), and a reduction in lactate production during compared to the same exercise session following the ingestion of a non-pulse food. We also hypothesize that consumption of bagels containing pulse ingredients will lead to lower blood glucose, insulin, appetite and food intake, suggesting lower calorie compensation, following a 60-minute aerobic exercise session compared to the same exercise session following the ingestion of a non-pulse food.

Exercise intensity60-120 minOxygen consumption measured during exercise at 3 time points

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Lactate concentration60-120 minMeasured before, during, and exercise exercise at 3 time points
Palatability5 and 260 minMeasured by VAS questionnaire
Substrate Oxidation60-120 minRespiratory quotient measured during exercise at 3 time points
Physical comfort0-240 minMeasured by VAS questionnaire
Energy/fatigue0 - 240 minMeasured by VAS questionnaire
Heart rate60-120 minTo monitor exercise intensity and give a measure of fatigue (cardiovascular drift)
