Study Summary

This trial aims to study how a short period of not exercising affects blood sugar levels and blood vessel function in active older adults. The researchers want to see if taking a break from exercise leads to problems with

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy, physically active older adults aged 55 and above who currently exercise at least 90 minutes per week. It's also open to those between 18-40 years old. Participants should not have physical limitations that could affect changes in their daily activity levels.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to see if stopping exercise briefly affects blood sugar control and blood vessel health in older adults who usually stay active. Researchers will check how fast these effects happen with no exercise, and if going back to exercising for three days can reverse any negative impacts.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the intervention involves removing exercise rather than adding a drug or medical procedure, typical medication side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience changes in mood, energy levels, sleep patterns or temporary alterations in metabolism.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Experimental Treatment

Group I: VascularExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Vascular: Participants will have their blood vessel health measured while performing their normal exercise routines (EX) and while undergoing 1, 3, 5 days of no exercise (NOEX) followed immediately by 1 and 3 days of return to exercise (REX).

Group II: MetabolicExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Metabolic: Participants will have their blood glucose levels measured via continuous glucose monitoring for 3 days while participating in their normal exercise routines (EX). Participants will also have their blood glucose levels measured for 3 days while not exercising (NOEX), following immediately by 3 days of a return to normal activity(REX). Participants will be randomized to participate in the EX or NOEX/REX phases first. The EX and NOEX/REX phases will be separated by at least 1 week
