- Abstract
Purpose: Obesity may attenuate metabolic health improvements following lifestyle interventions. However, the effect of adiposity on insulin action following resistance exercise in young non-diabetic women is unknown. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that adiposity attenuates improvements in insulin sensitivity and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (INS 0–60/GLC 0–60) after both acute resistance exercise (ARE) and progressive training (PRT). Methods: Twenty-six young non-diabetic women (21.2 ± 0.7 years) were randomly assigned to control (C; n = 7; BF 40.1 ± 2.1 %) or exercise groups: normal body fat (NBF; n = 8; BF 29.9 ± 2.3 %) and high body fat (HBF; n = 12; BF 48.2 ± 1.4 %). Acute whole-body exercises were performed at 60 % of 1-RM for three sets of 8–12 repetitions, and PRT was performed 3 days/week for 7 weeks. A 75 g OGTT was conducted before and after ARE and PRT to estimate insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index) and INS 0–60/GLC 0–60. Insulin area under the curve (AUC) was calculated using the trapezoidal model. Results: ARE had no statistical effect on insulin action across groups. Strength and fat-free mass (via DXA) increased after PRT in both NBF and HBF ( p < 0.05), but only HBF women decreased BF ( p < 0.01). HBF women were less insulin sensitive at baseline compared to NBF women ( p < 0.05). Insulin sensitivity increased 95 % and INS 0–60/GLC 0–60 decreased 32 % following PRT in NBF, but not HBF or C ( p < 0.05). After training, enhanced insulin sensitivity was inversely related to decreased INS 0–60/GLC 0–60 ( r = −0.71, p < 0.001), fasting insulin ( r = −0.71, p < 0.001), and insulin AUC ( r = −0.85, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Seven weeks of PRT increases insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in NBF, but not HBF women. Obesity attenuates exercise-induced improvements in glucose regulation in young non-diabetic women.
