The effect of exercise intensity on glucose tolerance
June 18th, 2007 | by David Spelts |A glucose tolerance test (GTT) was performed on subjects following either low intensity, high volume resistance exercise or high intensity, low volume resistance exercise. The high intensity group attained better glucose tolerance than the low intensity group.
This is consistant with a greater glycogen depletion with high intensity exercise.
