Brief Summary

The objectives are to test the acute effects of different extruded pulse snacks on: 1) aerobic endurance and substrate oxidation during exercise 2) response of blood glucose, insulin and appetite on an aerobic exercise session, and 3) food intake two hours following the exercise session. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of food products containing pulse ingredients 60 minutes before exercise will increase aerobic endurance (lower oxygen consumption), decrease carbohydrate oxidation (greater respiratory quotient), and a reduction in lactate production during compared to the same exercise session following the ingestion of a non-pulse food. The investigators also hypothesize that consumption of extruded pulse snacks will lead to lower blood glucose, insulin, appetite and food intake, suggesting lower calorie compensation, following a 60-minute aerobic exercise session compared to the same exercise session following the ingestion of a non-pulse food.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subjective Appetite0-240 min

Measured by VAS questionnaire at 14 time points, used to calculate area under curve (AUC).( Composite measure)

Exercise intensity60 minutes

Sixty minute exercise protocol at minutes 60 to 120. Oxygen consumption measured during exercise at 3 time points.

Plasma Glucose and Insulin Concentrations0 - 240 min

Measured in blood using intravenous catheter at 14 time points, used to calculate area under curve (AUC). Glucose will be determined by automated methods using Abbot Spectrum CCX Analyzer, and Insulin will be measured by commercially available RIA kits. (Composite measure)

Food Intakeat 120 min

Ad-libitum meal. Food consumed measured by weight.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Palatability of treatmentsat 5 minutes

Measured by VAS questionnaire

Lactate concentration60 minutes

60 minute exercise protocol at minutes 60 to 120. Measured before, during, and exercise exercise at 3 time points

Palatability of mealat 260 minutes

Measured by VAS questionnaire

Energy/fatigue0-240 min

Measured by VAS questionnaire at 13 time points, used to calculate area under curve (AUC) (Composite measure)

Heart rate60-120 min

Heart rate monitored over a 60 minute exercise protocol. To monitor exercise intensity and give a measure of fatigue (cardiovascular drift)

Substrate Oxidation60 minutes

Measured during 60 minute exercise protocol at minutes 60-120. Respiratory quotient measured during exercise at 3 time points.

Physical comfort0-240 min

Measured by VAS questionnaire at 13 time points, used to calculate area under curve (AUC) (Composite measure)
