Abstract
Background: Exercise is essential intervention for managing prediabetes; however, the effective timing of exercise post meal for moderating metabolic parameters in individuals with prediabetes is under debate. The study aims to investigates the effects of exercise timing after meal consumption on glycemic control in prediabetic individuals.
Methods: This crossover study was Conducted at Khyber Medical University's Department of Physiology - Sports Research Unit. The study involved 25 prediabetic participants with sedentary lifestyles. Patients who performed standardized exercises (50% PMHR for 30 minutes, 5 minutes warmup and cool down) at different postprandial times (30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after breakfast) across four sessions. The study assessed changes in glucose, insulin, and C-peptide levels at 4 time points at fasting, pre-exercise, 30 and 60 minutes’ post exercise to understand the metabolic response to varied exercise timings.
Results: Significant changes in all parameters (glucose, insulin and C-peptide) were observed when exercise was performed 30 minutes after intake of food
Conclusion: Physical activity carried 30 minutes after meal may contribute to a more stable postprandial glucose profile. These results offered a valued insight in modulating post-exercise glycemic responses, emphasizing on the potential for tailored exercise mediations focusing on timing of exercise in managing postprandial hyperglycemia.
