The Claim
A single session of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise at 70% age-predicted heart rate for one hour improves insulin sensitivity by approximately 22% in sedentary overweight adults the following morning, resulting in insulin sensitivity levels comparable to those of regular exercisers.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
One hour of moderate aerobic exercise, performed at 70% of maximum heart rate, increases insulin sensitivity by about 22% in sedentary overweight adults by the next morning, matching the insulin sensitivity levels seen in people who exercise regularly.
See the scientific wording
A single session of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (1 hour at 70% age-predicted heart rate) improves insulin sensitivity by approximately 22% in sedentary overweight adults the following morning, bringing their insulin sensitivity to levels comparable to those of regular exercisers.
A single workout lowers a inflammatory chemical in the blood, which allows muscle and fat cells to respond better to insulin, pulling more sugar out of the blood and improving how the body uses it the next day.
What the research says
1 studyOne hour of brisk walking or similar exercise can make overweight people who don’t usually move much process sugar better the next day—just as well as people who exercise regularly.
