PG - 1001-6 LID - 10.3109/09637486.2013.825701 [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of the glycemic index (GI) of pre-exercise snack bars on substrate utilization during subsequent moderate intensity exercise. METHODS: Fourteen male participants (Age: 27 +/- 5 yr; BMI: 22.5 +/- 2.7 kg m(-2); [Formula: see text]: 48.7 +/- 6.1 mL kg(-1 )min(-1)) completed two trials in a randomized and counterbalanced crossover design. Two iso-caloric snack bars with different GI values (20, LGI versus 68, HGI) were provided to the participants. Ninety minutes later, all participants completed 45 minutes of ergometer cycling at 65% [Formula: see text]. Substrate utilization was measured using indirect calorimetry. RESULTS: During exercise, higher fat oxidation and lower carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation were observed in the LGI trial (LGI versus HGI: CHO, 87.3 +/- 20.1 versus 99.2 +/- 19.0 g, p < 0.05; Fat, 15.0 +/- 5.8 versus 9.7 +/- 7.0 g, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Compared with an iso-caloric HGI snack bar, pre-exercise LGI snack bar consumption may facilitate a shift of substrate utilization from CHO to fat during subsequent moderate intensity exercise.
