Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

It is well established that a bout of 50 min of continuous moderate intensity exercise, improves insulin sensitivity up to 48 hours after the bout. However, it is less well known, what is the exercise type more efficient to buffer the elevations in blood glucose elicited by carbohydrate ingestion. The purpose of this study is to elucidate if intervalic exercise is superior to continous on improving postprandial glycemic control.

Detailed Description

Carbohydrate oxidation, glucose and insulin blood concentrations, isotopically measured rate of appearance of endogenous and exogenous glucose will be measured in 4 ocassions.

Participants will undergo in a cross-over randomized fashion the following trials:
  1. Exercise pedalling during 50 min at 60% of their VO2max followed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

  2. Exercise pedalling during 50 min in a hot environment (33ÂșC) at 60% of their VO2max followed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

  3. Exercise pedalling during 50 min using intervalic bouts averaging 60% of VO2max followed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

  4. No exercise, followed by an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

50 min of aerobic exercise by pedaling a cycleergometer at 60% of VO2max

Behavioral: TYPE OF EXERCISE (OR REST)
continous exercise in normal temperature, continous exercise in hot environment, intervallic exercise in normal temperature.

Placebo Comparator: PLACEBO REST

No exercise, resting during 50 min.

Behavioral: TYPE OF EXERCISE (OR REST)
continous exercise in normal temperature, continous exercise in hot environment, intervallic exercise in normal temperature.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Blood glucose concentration [16 weeks]

    Incremental area under the curve during the 120 min of the oral glucose tolerance test

  2. Blood insulin concentration [16 weeks]

    Incremental area under the curve during the 120 min of the oral glucose tolerance test

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Carbohydrate oxidation [16 weeks]

    Measured using indirect calorimetry

  2. Turnover rate of endogenous and exogenous glucose [16 weeks]

    Measured using isotopic tracers.
