—Checklist to assist researchers in designing and evaluating studies using stable isotopes to assess carbohydrate metabolism during exercise in humans. Each experimental design factor (a) is grouped based on potential impact on study quality (b). Note, this assessment is subjective, as the actual impact is dependent on many factors including other aspects of study design and aims. Therefore, this should be treated as a guide to be taken wider context.
