Effects of Acute Exercise in Fasting and Fed States in Individuals With Different Aerobic Fitness Levels

4 września 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Suleyman Bulut, Hacettepe University

The Effect of Acute Exercise in the Fasted and Fed States on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and Metabolic Fuel Utilization in Individuals With Different Aerobic Fitness Levels

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of aerobic fitness level, feeding status, and acute exercise on whole-body metabolic fuel utilization and mitochondrial function in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in healthy young men.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. Do individuals with high and low aerobic fitness levels differ in fat and carbohydrate oxidation at rest and during exercise following an overnight fast, and do their PBMC mitochondrial responses to acute exercise differ?
  2. Does feeding alter fat and carbohydrate oxidation at rest and during exercise compared with the fasted state in individuals with high aerobic fitness?
  3. Are PBMC mitochondrial respiration parameters and their exercise-induced changes associated with fat and carbohydrate oxidation during fasted exercise?

Szczegółowy opis

This experimental study uses a mixed design incorporating both between- and within-subject comparisons to investigate the influence of aerobic fitness level, feeding status, and acute exercise on substrate oxidation and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) mitochondrial function. Between-group comparisons will examine differences between individuals with high and low aerobic fitness under standardized fasted conditions, whereas within-subject comparisons of fasted and fed conditions will be performed in the high-fitness group. In addition, the repeatability of substrate oxidation measurements will be assessed in the high-fitness group.

A total of 30 healthy men aged 18-25 years with a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5-24.9 kg·m-² will be recruited. Participants will be classified into two groups according to maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O₂max). The high-fitness group will comprise 15 endurance-trained individuals with a V̇O₂max >55 mL·kg-¹·min-¹, whereas the low-fitness group will comprise 15 sedentary or physically inactive individuals with a V̇O₂max <45 mL·kg-¹·min-¹.

During the first laboratory visit, participants in both groups will undergo body composition assessment using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and complete an incremental cycling test to determine V̇O₂max. Following sufficient recovery, participants will complete a 20-min familiarization cycling session at an intensity corresponding to 65% of V̇O₂max.

Participants in the high-fitness group will complete four laboratory visits in total. During the second and third visits, participants will arrive at the laboratory following an overnight fast. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) will be assessed, after which participants will complete 30 min of cycling exercise at 65% of V̇O₂max. These visits will be performed under identical standardized conditions to determine the repeatability of substrate oxidation measurements.

During the fourth visit, participants in the high-fitness group will arrive at the laboratory following an approximately 12-h overnight fast. RMR will first be assessed, followed by the collection of a venous blood sample immediately before exercise. Participants will then complete 30 min of cycling at 65% of V̇O₂max, and a second venous blood sample will be collected immediately after exercise. These samples will be used to assess exercise-induced changes in PBMC mitochondrial function under fasted conditions.

One hour after completing the fasted exercise trial, participants will consume an ad libitum meal consisting of pasta and meatballs. One hour after completion of the meal, RMR assessment and the 30-min cycling exercise trial at 65% of V̇O₂max will be repeated under fed conditions. No blood samples will be collected during the fed condition. Accordingly, comparisons between fasted and fed conditions will be restricted to outcomes related to whole-body substrate metabolism.

Participants in the low-fitness group will complete two laboratory visits. The first visit will include DXA assessment, determination of V̇O₂max, and the familiarization cycling session, as described above. During the second visit, participants will complete the fasted experimental condition. Following an approximately 12-h overnight fast, RMR will be assessed and a venous blood sample will be collected immediately before exercise. Participants will then complete 30 min of cycling at 65% of V̇O₂max, followed immediately by collection of a second venous blood sample. The low-fitness group will not complete the repeatability trials or the fed condition. Therefore, between-group comparisons of substrate oxidation and PBMC mitochondrial function will be performed using data obtained under the standardized fasted condition.

Respiratory gas exchange will be continuously measured during resting and exercise assessments to determine oxygen consumption (V̇O₂) and carbon dioxide production (V̇CO₂). These measurements will be used to calculate rates of fat and carbohydrate oxidation. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) will be recorded every 5 min during exercise using the Borg 6-20 scale.

PBMCs will be isolated from venous blood samples collected immediately before and after the fasted exercise test. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate and proton efflux rate will be measured using a Seahorse XFe96 extracellular flux analyzer. These measurements will be used to evaluate exercise-induced changes in PBMC mitochondrial function and their relationship with whole-body fat and carbohydrate oxidation during exercise.

Participants will also complete a 24-hour dietary intake record before the main experimental visit.

Eksperymentalny: High Aerobic Fitness: Fasted and Fed Conditions
Participants with a VO2max greater than 55 mL/kg/min who regularly perform endurance training will be assigned to this arm. Participants will complete two repeatability visits under overnight-fasted conditions, including resting metabolic rate measurement followed by 30 minutes of cycling at 65% of VO2max. During the main experimental visit, they will complete the same measurements in the fasted state, with venous blood samples collected immediately before and after exercise. They will subsequently consume an ad libitum meal, and one hour later, resting metabolic rate measurement and the cycling exercise test will be repeated in the fed state.
Behawioralne: Acute Moderate-Intensity Cycling Exercise
Participants will perform 30 minutes of continuous cycling exercise on a cycle ergometer at an intensity corresponding to 65% of their individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Both aerobic fitness groups will complete the exercise following an overnight fast. Participants in the high aerobic fitness group will also repeat the exercise one hour after consuming an ad libitum meal. Respiratory gas exchange will be measured throughout exercise to calculate fat and carbohydrate oxidation, and rating of perceived exertion will be recorded every five minutes using the Borg 6-20 scale.
Inny: Ad Libitum Mixed Meal
One hour after completing the fasted exercise test, participants in the high aerobic fitness group will be provided with an ad libitum mixed meal consisting of pasta and meatballs and will be allowed to eat until comfortably full. One hour after the meal, resting metabolic rate measurement and the 30-minute cycling exercise test at 65% of VO2max will be repeated under the fed condition. No blood samples will be collected during the fed condition.
Inny: Low Aerobic Fitness: Fasted Condition
Participants with a VO2max lower than 45 mL/kg/min who are sedentary or physically inactive will be assigned to this arm. Participants will complete the fasted experimental condition only. Following an overnight fast, resting metabolic rate will be measured and a venous blood sample will be collected immediately before 30 minutes of cycling at 65% of VO2max. A second venous blood sample will be collected immediately after exercise. Participants in this arm will not complete the repeatability visits or the fed experimental condition.
Behawioralne: Acute Moderate-Intensity Cycling Exercise
Participants will perform 30 minutes of continuous cycling exercise on a cycle ergometer at an intensity corresponding to 65% of their individual maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Both aerobic fitness groups will complete the exercise following an overnight fast. Participants in the high aerobic fitness group will also repeat the exercise one hour after consuming an ad libitum meal.
