Low-moderate intensity exercise under normoxia

The participant will perform the exercise interventions consisting of cycling at the 90% lactate threshold at normoxia (fraction oxygen: 20.9%) for 60 minutes on separate days (5-7 days). Immediately after exercise oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and 24-hour glucose concentration will be monitored continuously. Pre, post and post-24 h circulatory markers will be determined.

OTHER

Low-moderate intensity exercise under moderate hypoxia

The participant will perform the exercise interventions consisting of cycling at the 90% lactate threshold at normoxia (fraction oxygen: 16.5%) for 60 minutes on separate days (5-7 days). Immediately after exercise oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and 24-hour glucose concentration will be monitored continuously. Pre, post and post-24 h circulatory markers will be determined.

OTHER

Low-moderate intensity exercise under high hypoxia

The participant will perform the exercise interventions consisting of cycling at the 90% lactate threshold at normoxia (fraction oxygen: 14.8%) for 60 minutes on separate days (5-7 days). Immediately after exercise oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and 24-hour glucose concentration will be monitored continuously. Pre, post and post-24 h circulatory markers will be determined.
