The Effects of an Obesogenic Lifestyle in Recreationally Active, Young Adults
Sponsor: University of New Hampshire
Summary
This clinical trial aims to learn about the alterations in insulin resistance and metabolic flexibility following a transition to an obesogenic lifestyle in fit young men and women. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does adding excess carbohydrates when transitioning to a sedentary lifestyle promote insulin resistance and impaired 24hr glucose regulation in healthy men and women? 2. Does adding excess carbohydrates when transitioning to a sedentary lifestyle lower the body's ability to break down fats and carbohydrates in healthy men and women? 3. Does the added physical activity blunt shifts in carbohydrate and fat oxidation in healthy men and women?

Interventions
Low Physical Activity and Added Carbohydrate Group
Young men and women will transition into a low physically active lifestyle for 10 days and consume added sugar-sweetened beverages. The intervention group will be compared to two control groups and one experimental group. One of the control groups will undergo a low physical activity intervention.
Low physical Activity Control
Young men and women will transition into a low physically active lifestyle for 10 days.
High Physical Activity and Added Carbohydrate Group
Young men and women will transition into a high physically active lifestyle for 10 days and consume added sugar-sweetened beverages. The intervention group will be compared to two control groups and one experimental group.
