Physical Inactivity Impacts on Blood Vessel Health and Glucose Levels in an Aging Population

NCT04812392 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Summary

Physical inactivity is known to increase post meal blood sugar levels in young, active populations. However, how quickly this may occur in active, older adults is not clear. Further, the relationship between blood vessel health and blood sugar disturbances which occur to acute physical inactivity is not clear. It is unknown if impairments in blood vessel function precede increases in blood sugar levels that occurs with inactivity in an aging population. This study aims to determine if short term reductions in physical activity impair blood vessel health and blood glucose control to a greater extent in an aging population compared to a young population. The investigators hypothesize that 3 days of reduced physical activity will result in impaired blood vessel function and glycemic control in an aged population.
