Figure 2. Resting energy expenditure over time. A significant interaction (condition*time) and significant main effects for time and condition were observed for REE. TR ingestion increased REE from baseline to 30, 60, 120, and 180- min while REE decreased in PLA from baseline to at all time points post-ingestion. There was also a significant main effect for condition at 30, 60, 120, and 180 min post ingestion (condition: TR = active; PLA = placebo). *Denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences from baseline to each timepoint; †denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences between conditions.

Figure 3. Volume of expired carbon dioxide over time. A significant interaction (condition*time) and a significant main effect for time was observed for VCO2. TR ingestion increased VCO2 from baseline to 30 and 60 min post-ingestion while VCO2 was significantly higher in TR than PLA at all time points post-ingestion (condition: TR = active; PLA = placebo). *Denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences from baseline to each timepoint; †denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences between conditions).

Figure 4. Volume of inspired oxygen over time. A significant interaction (condition*time) and significant main effect for time were observed for VO2. TR ingestion increased VO2 from baseline to 30, 60, 120, and 180 min post-ingestion. There were also significant differences between conditions at all timepoints post-ingestion (condition: TR = active; PLA = placebo). *Denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences from baseline to each timepoint; †denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences between conditions.

Figure 5. Respiratory quotient over time. No significant interaction (condition*time) was observed for RQ. A significant main effect of time, but no main effect for condition, was observed for RQ. An observed decreased in RQ for both groups was seen at 120 and 180 min post ingestion (condition: TR = active; PLA = placebo). *Denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences from baseline to each timepoint.

Figure 6. Heart rate over time. No interaction (condition*time) was observed. A significant main effect of time was observed, with follow-up indicating a decrease in heart rate at 30 min post ingestion (condition: TR = active; PLA = placebo. *Denotes statistical significance at p < 0.05 for differences from baseline to each timepoint.
