Study flowchart in response to study advertisement. A total of 413 men and women underwent screening. After review of our inclusion-exclusion criteria, 33 were eligible to partake in the 1-wk diet and exercise intervention. These individuals were randomly assigned to an exercise training protocol (EX) accompanied with either a low–glycemic index (GI) diet (LoGI+EX; n = 16) or a high-GI diet (HiGI+EX; n = 17). After baseline testing, one male subject withdrew from the intervention because of personal circumstances. No adverse events were associated with our testing procedures or the intervention. Final statistical analyses were performed on 32 participants (LoGI+EX, n = 15; HiGI+EX, n = 17).
