Concentric and eccentric exercise, glycemic responses to a postexercise meal, and inflammation in women with high versus low waist circumference

What is it about?

Having a larger waist circumference increases risk for metabolic diseases. We examined whether a high carbohydrate meal after exercise interacts with the effects of exercise in an unfavorable way. Our findings suggest that exercise has benefits to improve insulin and glucose responses to a meal eaten 30 minutes after exercise, but inflammation is greater and more likely to increase after a meal in women with a larger waist circumference.
