Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects will be required to attend three testing sessions over 4 days with at least 24 hours (1 day) of recovery day between Session 2 and 3. In Session 1 (day 1), subjects will undergo a glucose tolerance test (GTT). Based on the GTT results subjects then will be categorized into normal, impaired, or high glucose levels. In Session 2 (day 2), subjects will be required to perform maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) test to determine the exercise load that will be used in Session 3. In Session 3 (day 4), subjects will perform a single bout of moderate intensity exercise on the bike for 30 min. All variables will be measured at pre and post acute exercise. During exercise subjects will be supervised and their heart rate will be monitored every 2 min by the tester/researcher.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects that meet the inclusion criteria will be admitted to the study. All subjects will receive the same treatment and allocation is not concealed.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Following a glucose tolerance test, subjects will be categorized into normal, impaired, or high glucose level group. Thus, the categorization is based on the level of subject's glucose. If subjecs' glucose level normal, then they will be allocated into a normal group. The same method of allocation will be used for the other 2 groups.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Single group
Other design features
There will be three groups of subject in the study and all the three groups will receive the same treatment.
