Exercise testing
Maximal aerobic power and substrate utilization were
assessed with a graded exercise test on an ergocycle.
Testing comprised a sub-maximal phase to determine
Fatox and CHOox at multiple intensities (with workload
increments occurring every 5 min), and a maximal phase
to assess peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) (increments
every min). The testing protocol adopted has been de-
scribed in detail in a previous publication[5]
