Interventions
Ketone monoester supplementation
Exogenous ketones are a class of ketone bodies that are ingested using nutritional supplements or foods. This class of ketone bodies refers to the three water-soluble ketones (acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate, and acetone).
High-intensity interval exercise
High-intensity interval exercise is a type of interval training exercise. It incorporates several rounds that alternate between several minutes of high-intensity movements to significantly increase the heart rate to at least 80% of one's maximum heart rate, followed by short periods of lower-intensity movements. The exercise will be conducted on a computer-monitored cycle ergometer.
Moderate-intensity continuous exercise
Moderate-intensity continuous exercise generally consists of 30-60 min of aerobic exercise at 64-76% peak heart rate, while interval training involves more intense bouts interspersed by recovery periods. The exercise will be conducted on a computer-monitored cycle ergometer.
Placebo
The placebo will be the taste-matched water.
