Abstract
Aim/introduction: This study investigated if immediately post-lunch exercise may improve postprandial hyperglycemia in individuals with prediabetes.
Materials and methods: The study consisted of a control phase involving no exercise and an exercise phase involving exercise. During both phases, participants were assessed for their AUC, RCMC and %TITR using CGM-derived postprandial data; they were also assessed for physical activity using a physical activity tracker and for energy intake using a dietary management application.
Results: Of the 43 males included, 23 were available for analysis. Their AUC values were significantly lower at post-lunch 1 h in the exercise phase than in the control phase with their %TITR values being significantly higher in the exercise phase than in the control phase. Their cumulative AUC values were significantly lower for post-lunch 2, 3, and 4 h in the exercise phase, with the cumulative %TITR values being also significantly higher. Their RCMC values were significantly lower for post-lunch 0-1 and 3-4 h, and significantly higher for post-lunch 1-2 h, in the exercise phase than in the control phase, with no difference for post-lunch 2-3 h between the phases. They exhibited monophasic or biphasic glucose profiles in the exercise phase with significantly different AUC and %TITR values for post-lunch 0-4 h, but no difference in HR reserve (HRR), energy intake or its composition.
Conclusion: In those with prediabetes, postprandial hyperglycemia improved with immediately post-lunch exercise, with significant improvements in cumulative AUC and %TITR values. Further study is required to clarify why they exhibited disparate glucose profiles.
期刊介绍:
Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
