A single bout of physical exercise improves 1-hour post-load plasma glucose in healthy young adults
This is the first study to evaluate the effect of a single bout of exercise on 1-hour glucose levels following OGTT. We found a significant reduction in 1-hour glucose levels following OGTT together with an increased insulin sensitivity. A single 30-minute bout of aerobic exercise also seemed to improve the insulin secretion pattern. Modifications in beta cell secretory capacity during exercise are likely secondary to an improvement in insulin action in insulin dependent tissues.
