Brief Summary

This study will investigate whether an 11-minute bodyweight exercise session can improve short-term glycemic control. Glycemic control refers to the process of how the body regulates blood sugar. The process can be measured in different ways. This study will use a small device called a continuous glucose monitor to measure changes in glucose levels over a 24-hour period. Participants will complete two trials and the investigators will compare glycemic control after the exercise session and a control period that does not involve exercise. Food intake will be controlled such that each participant will consume the same diet in both conditions. This study will help determine whether a single session of bodyweight exercise affects glycemic control.

Study Arms (2)

Bodyweight Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

A standardized 11-minute bodyweight exercise session that involves a 1-minute warm-up followed by 5, 1-minute bouts of exercise at a self-selected "challenging" pace, interspersed with 1-minute periods of low-intensity exercise for recovery.

Other: Exercise

Non-Exercise Control

NO INTERVENTION

An 11-minute period of quiet sitting.

Interventions

Exercise OTHER

A single session of bodyweight exercise

You may not qualify if:

• \- Experiencing a condition that might preclude safe participation in physical activity and exercise, as determined by answering "Yes" to any question on Page 1 of the CSEP Get Active Questionnaire.
