Introduction: Ectopic lipids are fuel stores in non-adipose tissues (i.e. skeletal muscle (IMCL), liver (IHCL), heart (ICCL)). An aerobic-exercise bout leads to a decrease in IMCL (‘working tissues’), whereas it is not established whether a single but of exercise influences IHCL or ICCL.Increased IMCL and IHCL have been related to impaired insulin action in skeletal muscle and liver. It is hypothesized that fat availability (subcutaneous and vi...
