Primary |
Post-lunch area under the curve (AUC) for glucose. |
Net incremental AUC and total AUC for 2-hour period post lunch in each condition will be calculated for plasma glucose. Five finger prick blood samples will be taken at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes post lunch. |
2 hours |
|
Primary |
Total trial area under the curve (AUC) for glucose. |
Net incremental AUC and total AUC for the 5-hour entire trial period in each condition will be calculated for plasma glucose. Finger prick blood samples will be taken at at 0 (baseline), 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after breakfast consumption or omission and at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after lunch consumption. |

Primary |
Post-lunch area under the curve (AUC) for insulin. |
Net incremental AUC and totral AUC for 2-hour period post lunch in each condition will be calculated for plasma insulin. Five finger prick blood samples will be taken at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes post lunch. |

Primary |

Net incremental AUC and total AUC for the 5-hour entire trial period in each condition will be calculated for plasma insulin. Finger prick blood samples will be taken at at 0 (baseline), 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after breakfast consumption or omission and at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after lunch consumption. |

Secondary |
Post-lunch resting substrate oxidation |
Substrate oxidation (fat and carbohydrate) rates will be estimated using indirect calorimetry from expired air samples at four time points following lunch (30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes). |
2 hours |
|
Secondary |
Total trial resting substrate oxidation. |
Substrate oxidation (fat and carbohydrate) rates will be estimated using indirect calorimetry from expired air samples at baseline and at 4 time points after breakfast (30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes) and 4 time points following lunch (30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes). |

|
Secondary |
Maximum fat oxidation rate during exercise |
An incremental 7-stage cycling test will be performed 2 hours after lunch for the determination of maximum fat oxidation. Each stage will last 4 minutes in duration, where participants will keep a steady pedalling rate of 60 revolutions per minute. The intensity for each stage was calculated based on the percentage (0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%) of the theoretical maximal aerobic power. Fat oxidation rates will be estimated during the final minute of each stage using indirect calorimetry. |
During exercise (approximately 30 minutes) |

Secondary |
Fatmax during exercise |
An incremental 7-stage cycling test will be performed 2 hours after lunch for the determination of maximum fat oxidation. Each stage will last 4 minutes in duration, where participants will keep a steady pedalling rate of 60 revolutions per minute. The intensity for each stage was calculated based on the percentage (0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%) of the theoretical maximal aerobic power. Fat oxidation rates will be estimated during the final minute of each stage using indirect calorimetry. The intensity at which maximum fat oxidation occurs will be defined as Fatmax. |
During exercise (approximately 30 minutes) |

Secondary |
Physical activity enjoyment |
Physical activity enjoyment measured using Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) during the Fatmax incremental exercise test. The scale is composed of 16 statements (9 positive and 7 negative) which begin with the phrase "When I am physically active…". The participants must answer by giving an answer from 1 "disagree a lot" to 5 "agree a lot" to each statement. The average score of the positive statements is calculated to be used in the analysis. |
Following exercise (approximately 5-10 minutes post) |
|
Secondary |
Post-lunch area under the curve (AUC) for triaclyglycerol |
Net incremental AUC and total AUC for the 2-hour period post lunch in each condition will be calculated for plasma triaclyglycerol. Five finger prick blood samples will be taken at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes post lunch. |
2 hour |
|
Secondary |
Total trial area under the curve (AUC) for triaclyglycerol |
Net incremental AUC and total AUC for the 5-hour entire trial period in each condition will be calculated for plasma triacylglycerol. Finger prick blood samples will be taken at at 0 (baseline), 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after breakfast consumption or omission and at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after lunch consumption. |
