Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Energy Expenditure Resting, throughout the aerobic exercise session, and during the recovery phase. Indirect calorimetry using a metabolic cart to measure oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production,Blood Glucose 4 time points: 1) Baseline (pre-ingestion), 2) 1h post-ingestion (pre-exercise), 3) Immediately post-aerobic exercise, 4) Immediately post-isokinetic test Capillary blood glucose measurement using a portable handheld glucometer.,Muscle Function At baseline (before exercise) and immediately after finishing the exercise session. Isokinetic strength testing of the leg muscles using an isokinetic dynamometer. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Gastrointestinal Symptoms Baseline (pre-ingestion), every 15 mins during the 1h post-ingestion rest period, every 15 mins during aerobic exercise, and immediately post-exercise. Assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms including heartburn, gastric irritation, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, and overall discomfort using a standardized visual analog scale or symptom questionnaire.,Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) Baseline (pre-exercise), post-exercise, and 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours post-aerobic exercise. Assessment of muscle soreness intensity using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) or Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) during palpation and movement of the exercised muscles. | — |
