Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to determine if a 6-week exercise training program promotes exercise-induced metabolic flexibility, that is, the ability to switch fuel sources for energy, in older prediabetic adults.
Detailed Description
This is an investigator initiated single group intervention trial. All participants will receive a 6-week exercise training program with testing occurring before and following the training program. Participants will be provided with 3 days of a high fat diet prior to each of the three testing sessions at the Clinical Research Unit. All who agree to participate will undergo the same intervention. The goal of this proposal is to study the impact of a 6-week moderate intensity walking training program on exercise induced lipid metabolic flexibility in older adults with prediabetes. Study Investigators will seek to determine if exercise induced lipid oxidation following a high fat diet is increased in trained individuals relative to their baseline.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Blood collection_nonesterified fatty acids
Time Frame: Baseline
At baseline and follow-up testing visits, 6 blood samples at each visit (times 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50) will be obtained for measures of nonesterified fatty acids. Blood draws will happen as gas exchange is being measured. 1 tsp of blood will be taken through a catheter at each time point.
Blood collection_nonesterified fatty acids follow up 1
Time Frame: 6 weeks exercise training program
At baseline and follow-up testing visits, 6 blood samples at each visit (times 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50) will be obtained for measures of nonesterified fatty acids. Blood draws will happen as gas exchange is being measured. 1 tsp of blood will be taken through a catheter at each time point.
Metabolic Rate_6 weeks after exercise training program
Time Frame: 6 weeks exercise training program
Metabolic rate will be measured by gas exchange using indirect calorimeter. For the first (baseline test) and second (follow up test 1) time we monitor gas exchange, participants will exercise for 20 minutes at a workload that elicits 50% of maximal oxygen consumption as determined by Graded Exercise Test #1 done before the exercise training program. The third time (follow up test 2), participants will exercise for 20 minutes at a workload that elicits 50% of oxygen consumption as determined by Graded Exercise Test #2 done after the exercise training program.
Blood collection_lactate Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline
At baseline and follow-up testing visits, 6 blood samples at each visit (times 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50) will be obtained for measures of lactate. Blood draws will happen as gas exchange is being measured. 1 tsp of blood will be taken through a catheter at each time point.
Blood collection_lactate follow up 2
Time Frame: 3-10 days following Follow-Up Test 1
At baseline and follow-up testing visits, 6 blood samples at each visit (times 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50) will be obtained for measures of lactate. Blood draws will happen as gas exchange is being measured. 1 tsp of blood will be taken through a catheter at each time point.
Blood collection_glucose baseline
Time Frame: Baseline
At baseline and follow-up testing visits, 6 blood samples at each visit (times 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 50) will be obtained for measures of glucose. Blood draws will happen as gas exchange is being measured. 1 tsp of blood will be taken through a catheter at each time point.
