Brief summary
This project aims to investigate the impact of acute bout of submaximal exercise under different pre-exercise dietary conditions (fasted state versus high carbohydrate breakfast versus high protein breakfast) on postprandial glycaemic, appetite regulation and energy balance.
Detailed description
Participants will be asked to arrive to the laboratory between 08:00 and 9:00 am after not eating for between 12-14 hours i.e. in a fasted state (water intake is permitted and encouraged). Participants will then be given one of three test drinks (i.e., breakfast): 1) water only; 2) high carbohydrate drink; or 3) high protein (whey protein) drink. Each of these drinks will also contain 500 mL of water and artificial sweetener. 2 h after breakfast, participants will then exercise on a treadmill for 45 min followed by a 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and 30 min ad libitum lunch intake. Blood samples, blood pressures and questionnaire (e.g., appetite and mood) will be collected in a regular pattern throughout the trials. Cognitive functions will be tested at baseline, pre-exercise and 2 h post-exercise. Energy balance will be assessed using food diary and an accelerometer for the rest of the day after leaving the laboratory until midnight.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALFasted exercise
Participants will remain fast (Fasted) 2 h prior to 45 min exercise at 65% VO2max.
BEHAVIORALHigh protein breakfast exercise
Participants will consume a high protein breakfast (Protein) 2 h prior to 45 min exercise at 65% VO2max.
BEHAVIORALHigh carbohydrate breakfast exercise
Participants will consume a high carbohydrate breakfast (Carbohydrate) 2 h prior to 45 min exercise at 65% VO2max.
