Brief Summary
The literature has shown that exercise is effective in decreasing blood glucose levels. However, it remains less clear if there is any difference between muscle groups regarding the glucose-lowering effects of exercise. The purpose of this study is to examine the differences in blood-glucose level changes in response to exercise that involves different muscle groups.
