  1. Basic metabolic rate (BMR) is calculated from the age-adjusted Oxford equation as described by Henry 2005 (NNR, 2012). Participants current body weight is used if body mass index (BMI) < 30 kg/m2 and in case of BMI > 30, the body weight in the equation is adjusted to equal BMI = 25 kg/m2. Daily energy requirement is based on the level of kilocalories closest to the calculated BMR
  2. In addition, participants in the high exercise dose (HED) and moderate exercise dose (MED) groups receive 200 kcal for restitution on days with training sessions
