Metabolic adaptation
Estimates of insulin-independent glucose utilization (Rd) and carbohydrate oxidation (CHO OX) were greater during exercise compared to rest.
Exercise can improve metabolic responses even in the absence of insulin.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Estimates during exercise were greater than those at rest (P less than 0.05).
Why this rating
The study design supports the reliability of the findings.
