The Effect of Sitting and Moderate Exercise on Plasma Insulin and Glucose Responses to an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Sedentary Behavior, Insulin Sensitivity, Sedentary Lifestyle

In brief

The investigators hypothesize that cycling for 1 hour of exercise at 65% peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) after sitting \>13 hr/day (SIT+EX) will not be different in postprandial plasma insulin responses compared to the control of only sitting (SIT). Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that the SIT and SIT+EX groups will have a less favorble insulin response compared to the physically active group after performing the same 1-hour exercise bout (ACTIVE+EX).
