Effects of Arm Cycling and Leg Cycling on Postprandial Blood Glucose Levels in Healthy Persons

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Hyperglycemia, Postprandial
• Interventions: Behavioral: Sitting; Behavioral: Leg Cycling; Behavioral: Arm Cycling

• Registration Number: NCT04298710
• Lead Sponsor: Franklin Pierce University

Brief Summary

The literature has shown that exercise is effective in decreasing blood glucose levels. However, it remains less clear if there is any difference between muscle groups regarding the glucose-lowering effects of exercise. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in blood-glucose level changes in response to exercise that involves different muscle groups.
