Interventions
Ketone Ester Beverage
Participants will consume ketone ester (KE) beverage, consisting of 2 scoops (=25 g C8-KE) of Qitone Pro-ketone Powder ™ and electrolyte solution diluted in water, before each of 5 or 12 1-hour sessions of aerobic exercise.
Electrolyte Beverage
Participants will consume an electrolyte solution diluted in water, before each of 5 or 12 1-hour sessions of aerobic exercise.
Cycling Intervention
Five or twelve 1-hour sessions of cycling on the ergometer over a 2-6 week period. Sessions will consist of a 10 min warm up followed by 8 intervals consisting of 3 min "fast" cycling at 80-90 rpm followed by 2 min of "slow" cycling at ≤60rpm, followed by a 10-minute cool-down.
