Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Glucose Intolerance, Energy Expenditure, Vascular Stiffness, Cognition
In brief
This study will investigate whether various types of regular exercise can provide protective effects against metabolic abnormalities induced by sleep restriction. It will examine responses related to metabolic health, cognitive function, energy expenditure, subjective feelings, and human behaviors, including physical activity and energy intake.
