Effect of Hypoxic Exercise on Glucose Tolerance in Healthy and Pre-diabetic Adults.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that an acute bout of exercise in hypoxia reduces glucose tolerance in healthy and pre-diabetic subjects. At a molecular level, some adaptations regulating glucose transport in muscle were found in all groups without associations with glucose tolerance after exercise. The results suggest that hypoxia negatively affects glucose tolerance post-exercise through unidentified mechanisms. PMID: 33103453 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
