Brief Summary

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

This study will investigate the effect of dietary macronutrient manipulation on glycogen (stored carbohydrate) levels in the muscle and substrate oxidation during exercise. The investigators will investigate the hypothesis that manipulating the macronutrient content of the diet will alter the levels of glycogen in the muscle and, in turn, substrate oxidation during exercise.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One way to help reduce body fat is to expend more energy from the oxidation of fat as a fuel. Exercise is one way to increase fat oxidation. The extent to which exercise facilitates the use of fat as a fuel may be influenced by an individual's dietary intake.

This study aims to establish the effect of dietary macronutrient manipulation on muscle glycogen levels and substrate oxidation during exercise. Participants will undertake three separate trial periods. During each trial period participants will consume a diet containing different macronutrient compositions. For each of the trials the investigators will assess how the macronutrient composition of the diet affects muscle glycogen level and substrate oxidation during exercise.

Study Groups

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

Experimental arm 1

One of three 7-day study arms consisting of 3 days of standardised diet followed by 3 days of dietary macronutrient manipulation and 1 day of experimental testing.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Diet with a different macronutrient content A

Intervention Type OTHER

A diet with altered macronutrient content will be provided to participants on days 4-6 of experimental arm 1.

Interval treadmill running exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will perform interval treadmill running exercise on days 4 and 5 of all experimental arms.

Steady state treadmill running exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will perform steady state treadmill running exercise on day 7 of all experimental arms.

Experimental arm 2

One of three 7-day study arms consisting of 3 days of standardised diet followed by 3 days of dietary macronutrient manipulation and 1 day of experimental testing.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Diet with a different macronutrient content B

Intervention Type OTHER

A diet with a different macronutrient content compared to arm 1 will be provided to participants on days 4-6 of experimental arm 2.

Interval treadmill running exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will perform interval treadmill running exercise on days 4 and 5 of all experimental arms.
