OCTT (oral glucose tolerance test) was done. Endurance groupa max exercise test to exhaustion on a bike with a metabolic cart Resistance group-10 RM (rep max) was done Study Design Beverage with 1,000 kcal (200 g of maltodextrin and 50 g whey hydrolysate) was given within 1 hour post trainingholy post training beverage batman! An OGTT was done 6 hours after exercise. Results No changes in glucose tolerance after endurance training. Acute resistance training can significantly lower blood glucose (area under the curve) as shown by an OGTT for up to 6 HOURS later, even after a crapload (technical term) of carbs and protein post training! That is pretty cool that this effect stays around for that long and with that many grams of carbs and protein after training. Application Resistance training wins again! Even if you eat a lot post training, your body is better at moving that fuel rapidly out of your blood stream. I wish they would have monitored strength levels and body composition, especially with that many grams of carbs and protein post training. I know there are some other great studies on nutrient timing, but more data is good! Although insulin levels are interesting, I am more personally interested in strength/body composition changes. You would expect that as the body becomes more sensitive to glucose you would drop body fat. Score another point for lifting heavy stuff (resistance training). While all studies are limited, this one is off an ORAL Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), and therefore absorption of that many carbs and protein in the gut may be an issue for some people in the study. Maybe they should have measured expired gases not just from the mouth! If you cant absorb it, you will have a different response vs. someone who can. Researchers will then get into a heated debate about the best way to measure insulin response, but of the other ways are more invasive (multiple sticks for an IV at times) and much more time intensive. Plus, if you want to compare it to the average gym rat (who believes that taking in any carbs will inhibit their fat burning), they will be using an oral drink so having an oral drink in the study is better for that comparison.

Summary To modify glucose tolerance, resistance training appears to be better. Save those carbs for post training, hit some weight, and look forward to a leaner you! Rock on Mike N References 1.
