Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation.

CON = high energy/high carbohydrate; LCHF = low carbohydrate/high fat; LEA = low energy availability.

a

Indicates significant difference to baseline (p < 0.05).

b

Indicates significant difference to CON (p < 0.05).

c

Indicates significant difference to LCHF (p < 0.05).
