What does the summary suggest about the effect of acute exercise on insulin sensitivity?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for clarification on the effects of acute exercise on insulin sensitivity based on a provided summary. It presents four possible answers that summarize different perspectives on the relationship between acute exercise and insulin sensitivity.
Answer
Acute exercise increases insulin sensitivity post-exercise.
The acute effect of exercise initially increases glucose transport, which eventually transitions to improved insulin sensitivity as the effect wears off.
Answer for screen readers
The acute effect of exercise initially increases glucose transport, which eventually transitions to improved insulin sensitivity as the effect wears off.
More Information
Acute exercise has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity in muscle. This effect can improve glucose uptake and metabolism, providing benefits beyond the workout. The increased sensitivity contributes to reduced risk of insulin resistance.
Tips
Confusing acute with chronic effects can lead to misunderstandings. Acute effects are related to the immediate but temporary changes post-exercise.
