| dc.description.abstract | The aim of the current study was to investigate whether the timing of exercise affects a child’s blood glucose response to a meal. Nine children between the ages of 7 and 11 years were studied. On two separate test days, they ate a Lunchable and then participated in a 60-minute exercise session in the Human Performance Laboratory. For two other days, they participated in a 60-minute exercise session and then ate the Lunchable. Blood glucose was measured with a glucometer four times per testing session, approximately every 30 minutes. Understanding the effect of exercise on the glucose response to a meal can lead to significant reductions in the incidence of childhood obesity and Diabetes that exist in the United States. | en_US |
