A single exercise session increases insulin sensitivity in normal weight and overweight/obese adolescents.

ABSTRACT: We measured the effect of an aerobic exercise session on postprandial glucose control in adolescents with habitually low-physical activity. The goal was to determine if the acute or residual response of exercise was altered in people who are overweight/obese (OW/Ob). Eleven normal weight, body mass index (NW, BMI = 48 ± 13 percentile) and 12 OW/Ob (BMI = 91 ± 5 percentile) participants completed 3 trials. In the no exercise (No Ex) trial, participants rested quietly before and after consuming a test meal. In the other 2 trials, a 45-minute aerobic exercise session was performed either 17-hour (Prior Day Ex) or 40 minutes (Same Day Ex) before the test meal. On all trials, the OW/Ob group had higher fasting glucose (~6%) and insulin (~66%), and lower insulin sensitivity (~9%) than the NW gro
