- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> 1. Glycogen levels in biopsied skeletal muscles are measured using an aseptic technique, an incision (10 mm length and depth) was made in the skin and muscle fascia at about 20 cm above the knee of the right leg at 0-h (immediately after exercise) and 3-h after exercise.<br> 2. Fat oxidation rate in a gaseous sample is measured using MetaMax3B indirect calorimetry (Cortex Biophysik, Nonnenstrasse, Leipzing, Germany) to collect individual’s gaseous samples at every 60-min during 3h post-exercise recovery i.e., at 60, 120 and 180-min after exercise for both trials.<br>
