After an oral 75‐gram glucose challenge (60 min), the RQ increased from baseline and trial sequences (time effect Effect of resting or SIT protocol on metabolic outcomes during the fasting, postprandial, and exercise periods. Respiratory quotient (RQ, a), RQ total response [area under the curve (AUC)] for each group (b), Fat utilization (c), Fat total response [AUC)] for each group (d), Carbohydrate (CHO) utilization (e), CHO total response [AUC)] for each group (f), capillary blood glucose concentrations (g), capillary blood glucose concentrations total response [AUC)] for each group (h), capillary lactate concentrations (i), capillary lactate concentrations total response [AUC)] for each group (j). Fasting values correspond to the resting metabolic rate period, that is, before the 75‐g glucose load, while 60, 120, and 180 represent the time in minutes for gas exchange data after the 75‐g glucose intake. The soda cup icon (x‐axis) represents the moment in which the glucose (75‐g dose, postprandial glycemia PPG) was provided. The bike icon (x‐axis) represents the moment in which the exercise was started. All AUCs are presented mean (SD) except on the figures where data are plotted as least squares mean (SEM) for better clarity. a Differences with fasting; b differences with 75‐g dose PPG; and c differences with 60 min. ***The effect of SIT versus resting on substrate contributions was significant (The glucose time‐course responses are shown in Figure A significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic BP was observed (time effect Effect of resting or SIT trial on brachial blood pressure during the fasting, postprandial, and exercise period.
