Diabetes Prevention, Obesity Prevention
Conditions
Brief summary
The objectives are to test the acute effects of different cereals 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. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of cereals 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. The investigators also hypothesize that consumption of cereals 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.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Plasma Glucose Concentrations | 0-240 minutes | Measured in blood using intravenous catheter. Glucose will be determined by automated methods using Abbot Spectrum Clinical Chemistry-X Analyzer, |
| Food Intake | at 240 minutes | Ad-libitum meal |
| Subjective Appetite | 0-240 minutes | Motivation-to-eat Visual Analog Scale questionnaire |
| Exercise intensity | 60-120 minutes | Oxygen consumption measured during exercise at 3 time points |
| Insulin concentrations | 0-240 minutes | Measured in blood using intravenous catheter. and Insulin will be measured by commercially available radioimmunoassay (RIA) kits |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Physical comfort measured by Visual Analog Scale questionnaire | 0-240 minutes | Contributions from energy intake |
| Palatability measured by Visual Analog Scale questionnaire | 5 and 260 minutes | Food tasting |
| Energy/fatigue measured by Visual Analog Scale questionnaire | 0 - 240 minutes | Estimate of energy expenditure |
| Heart rate | 60-120 minutes | To monitor exercise intensity and give a measure of fatigue (cardiovascular drift) |
| Substrate Oxidation | 60-120 minutes | Respiratory quotient measured during exercise at 3 time points |
| Lactate concentration | 60-120 minutes | Measured before, during, and after exercise exercise at 3 time points |
