About this study

Official title: Metabolic Responses of a Single Bout of Low-intensity Exercise Following Mixed Meals in Healthy Individuals

In the present study the investigators compared the hormonal and metabolic effects of three meal loads very popular among Italian eating habits, both in the resting- and exercising state. Given the lack of time is considered a common barrier to exercise adherence, we wanted to identify a low dose of exercise capable to produce health benefits in the post-absorptive status elicited by three commonly consumed meal-models in Mediterranean countries. To this end, healthy young volunteers firstly underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and three meal tolerance tests. Secondly, in an extra set of experiments, subjects cycled at low intensity for the last 20 minutes of the same glucose/meal tolerance test. Glycemia, insulinemia, ghrelinemia, lipidemia, and satiety were measured throughout OGTT and each test-meal load.

Read the detailed description

The investigators evaluated postprandial responses (glucose, insulin, ghrelin, free fatty acids (FFA)) elicited by three diverse test-meal loads followed by a 20-min bout of low-intensity aerobic exercise were investigated. All subjects underwent a 50-g OGTT (A) and 3 test-meal loads: milk and cereals (B1); milk, apple and chocolate cream-filled sponge cake (B2); milk, bread, apple and hazelnut chocolate cream (B3). In the exercise trial, participants cycled for 20 minutes at 40% VO2max, 100 minutes after load ingestion.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BreakfastDietary supplement

    All subjects received a standard 75-g OGTT to assess eligibility for the study. The 19 subjects matching the inclusion criteria completed 2 experimental trials: resting and exercise. During the resting trial, all subjects underwent an OGTT (50-g: A) and 3 meal tolerance tests [one for each breakfast tested: B1 = milk (125ml) and cereals (30g); B2 = milk (220ml), apple (200g) and chocolate cream-filled sponge cake (30g); B3 = milk (125ml), apple (150g), bread (50g) and hazelnut chocolate cream (15g)]. In the exercise trial, 100 minutes after the glucose/meal ingestion, participants cycled for 20 min at 40% of maximum oxygen uptake.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Plasma glucose responses of a single bout of low-intensity exercise following mixed meals in healthy individuals.

    Postprandial glycemic responses elicited by three diverse test-meal loads followed by a 20-min bout of low-intensity aerobic exercise.

    Measured: The entire study lasted for 9 experimental days (1 day for eligibility, 4 days for resting trial, 4 days for exercise trial).

  2. Plasma insulin responses of a single bout of low-intensity exercise following mixed meals in healthy individuals.

    Postprandial insulinemic responses elicited by three diverse test-meal loads followed by a 20-min bout of low-intensity aerobic exercise.

    Measured: The entire study lasted for 9 experimental days (1 day for eligibility, 4 days for resting trial, 4 days for exercise trial).

  3. Plasma ghrelin responses of a single bout of low-intensity exercise following mixed meals in healthy individuals.

    Postprandial ghrelinemic responses elicited by three diverse test-meal loads followed by a 20-min bout of low-intensity aerobic exercise.

    Measured: The entire study lasted for 9 experimental days (1 day for eligibility, 4 days for resting trial, 4 days for exercise trial).

  4. Plasma free fatty acids (FFA) responses of a single bout of low-intensity exercise following mixed meals in healthy individuals.

    Postprandial plasma FFA responses elicited by three diverse test-meal loads followed by a 20-min bout of low-intensity aerobic exercise.

    Measured: The entire study lasted for 9 experimental days (1 day for eligibility, 4 days for resting trial, 4 days for exercise trial).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Breakfast and exercise in people with Metabolism and Nutrition Disorder, run by Ospedale San Donato.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plasma glucose responses of a single bout of low-intensity exercise following mixed meals in healthy individuals. (time frame: The entire study lasted for 9 experimental days (1 day for eligibility, 4 days for resting trial, 4 days for exercise trial).). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03240757, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2017.
