Metabolic adaptation
Pre-exercise ingestion alters metabolic response by increasing insulin concentration and decreasing plasma glucose concentration, but does not affect exercise tolerance.
Practitioners should be aware that while pre-exercise meals can alter metabolic responses, they do not necessarily improve exercise performance in cardiac rehabilitation patients.
