With many medications we prescribe them relative to time of day or a meal. This study established if pre dinner vs post dinner exercise was more effective at altering post dinner glucose and triglyceride levels vs no exercise at all.
All participants completed three trials in a random order in which they consumed a standardized dinner meal with 1) no RE (NoRE), 2) pre-dinner RE (RE→M), and 3) post-dinner RE beginning 45 min after dinner (M→RE). Diet was standardized during the day of testing. Participants reported to the lab for testing sometime between 3 - 5:30 p.m. and upon arrival a venous catheter was inserted into a forearm vein. Frequent blood sampling, indirect calorimetry measurements, and subjective well-being measurements ensued for \~5.75 h while the participants were in the lab.

During the no exercise trial (NoEX), the participants will remain sedentary during testing.
During the post-meal exercise trial (M→EX), 45 min of resistance training will be performed
During the exercise prior to the meal trial (EX→M), 45 min of resistance training will be performed
glucose concentrations
Time frame: Blood samples were taken every 5-10 min during the first 3.7 h of testing and every 30 min during the last 2 h
triglyceride concentrations
Time frame: Blood samples were taken every 5-10 min during the first 3.7 h of testing and every 30 min during the last 2 h
