Schematic representation of metabolic trials. A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) was worn for three 2-day trials under standardized dietary intake. At 17:00 h on Day 1, participants either sat in the laboratory (CTL) or performed low-volume HIIE (10 × 1-min cycling intervals at ∼90% HRmax). Following HIIE, participants consumed either a carbohydrate (CHO) drink to replenish the exercise-induced energy deficit (EX-HC) or a non-caloric placebo (PLA) drink to remain in an exercise-induced energy deficit (EX-NC). All participants consumed a low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) dinner that evening. Glycemic responses to the following day’s meals, and over a 24 h period (from 00:00 to 23:59 h), were determined via CGM.
