Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective is to develop a new metabolic flexibility biomarker, which has application in the study of changes diet and exercise on fuel management in humans. The new biomarker involves the characterization of an individual's metabolic flexibility utilizing room calorimeters rather than the current method, which is based on glucose clamp data. It is hypothesized that this new metabolic flexibility method will be a useful and noninvasive biomarker for measuring adaptation to exercise and diet challenges.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

High Intensity Exercise, High Carbohydrate Beverage

Study participant consumes a high carbohydrate beverage as part of the day's meals, and performs high intensity exercise (85% of VO2 max), while in the calorimeter.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High Intensity Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

While in the calorimeter, each subject will complete four bouts of exercise. Each bout is approximately 5 minutes in duration at a predetermined speed and elevation to achieve an intensity of 85% of VO2 max according to their fitness level test described previously. Subjects then sit quietly until either the next meal or the next exercise bout.

High Carbohydrate Beverage

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will consume a high carbohydrate beverage (750 g) with the following composition: 2.13 MJ/d, 113g carbohydrate, 4g fat, 6g protein.

High Intensity Exercise, High Fat Beverage

Study participant consumes a high fat beverage as part of the day's meals, and performs high intensity exercise (85% of VO2 max), while in the calorimeter.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

High Intensity Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

While in the calorimeter, each subject will complete four bouts of exercise. Each bout is approximately 5 minutes in duration at a predetermined speed and elevation to achieve an intensity of 85% of VO2 max according to their fitness level test described previously. Subjects then sit quietly until either the next meal or the next exercise bout.

High Fat Beverage

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will consume a high fat beverage (750 g) with the following composition: 2.11 MJ/d, 8g carbohydrate, 50g fat, 7g protein.

Low Intensity Exercise, High Carbohydrate Beverage

Study participant consumes a high carbohydrate beverage as part of the day's meals, and performs low intensity exercise (65% of VO2 max), while in the calorimeter.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low Intensity Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

While in the calorimeter, each subject completes one exercise bout approximately 40 minutes in duration, at a predetermined speed and elevation, to achieve an intensity of 65% of VO2 max. Subjects then sit quietly until the next meal.
