Effects of improvement in aerobic power on resting insulin and glucose concentrations in children
Abstract
Abstract In this study we determined the influence of improving aerobic power (V˙O2max) on basal plasma levels of insulin and glucose of 11- to 14-year-old children, while accounting for body fat, gender, pubertal status, and leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) levels. Blood samples were obtained from 349 children after an overnight fast and analyzed for plasma insulin and glucose. Height, mass, body mass index (BMI), and sum of skinfolds (Σ …
