Prior to each exercise bout participants completed a Stroop task.
Following each bout participants completed a second Stoop task, as well as a bogus taste test involving three appetitive calorie dense snack foods and two control foods; the amount of each food type consumed during the taste test was covertly measured.
Blood pressure was measured at the beginning and every 10 min until the bout was completed.
Feeding cups of flowers were refilled only after each foraging bout was completed.
Following their second walking bout, participants completed a 5-minute cool-down period during which they completed a series of flexibility exercises.
The third bout was completed at an intensity above their ventilatory threshold and lasted 5 min. Metabolic outcomes such as the volume of oxygen consumed (V o2) and the volume of carbon dioxide produced (V co2) during exercise were measured with a TrueMax metabolic measurement system (Parvo Medics, Salt Lake City, UTtah).
The 10-min exercise bouts were completed 6 times for each subject at powers of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80%% of their individual VO2peak power and were separated by a 5-min resting period, and the measurements for each subject were plotted separately and visually checked for linearity as described elsewhere [18].
Sayed Haroon Sadat was the only Afghan boxer who completed his bout, losing to Kumar Adhikari of Nepal by a points difference of 11 13.
All patients completed a bout of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (∼73% VO2peak), running at a velocity of 9.3 ± 0.3 km · h−1 and expending 708 ± 16 kcal, with no incidences of hypoglycemia during exercise.
Thirteen fit and healthy subjects completed two bouts of exercise consisting of three 3 min stages on a cycle ergometer with increasing exercise intensity in normoxia (Part A; 142 ± 14, 167 ± 14, 192 ± 14 W) or with decreasing FIO2 at a constant exercise intensity (Part B; 21, 18, and 14%).
