About

Effect of individually timed exercise to attenuate postprandial glucose excursions

Full description

Participants will perform 1 and 3 minutes stair climbing and descending at a self-selected pace after a mixed meal on separate visits. The timing of these exercise bouts will be determined from an initial control condition where the participant remains seated. Timing of exercise will coincide with the peak glucose from the control condition. Glucose will be measured every 10 minutes.
