Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of the study is to examine the connection between bone metabolism and glucose homeostasis in healthy young individuals. In addition this project will provide experimental evidence on the effects of power and aerobic exercises on the secretion of osteocalcin, a hormone produced by bones that may also have a role in glucose metabolism. No previous research has examined the role tat bone might play in glucose regulation. This study will add important new information regarding the effects of exercise on bone metabolism and its connection to glucose control. Specific aim To examine the acute effects of power and aerobic exercise on bone metabolism in healthy young individuals. Studies hypotheses Acute effects of exercise on bone and metabolism i. An increase in unc-OC will occur as part of the acute response to exercise ii. Power exercise will result in greater increases in unc-OC, compared to the acute effects of aerobic exercise.
Interventions
We will examine the effects of a single 60 minute exercise session (aerobic or power exercises) on plasma uncarboxylated osteocalcin (unc-OC), adionectine (AN). Blood samples will be taken before exercise, immediately after and at 0.5, 1, 2, 24 and 48 hours post exercise.
