Study how stopping exercise affects blood sugar and blood vessels
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at what happens to blood sugar levels and blood vessel health when active adults stop exercising. It may help doctors understand how quickly these changes can happen and who may be most affected.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be age 55 or older (or younger adults ages 18–40).
- You should be generally healthy and physically active, doing at least 90 minutes of activity per week.
- You must not have physical problems that would stop you from changing your usual daily activity.
- You cannot have a diagnosis of HIV, hepatitis, or tuberculosis.
- Your body weight can’t have changed by more than 5% in the last 2 months.
- You can’t have smoked in the last 2 months and can’t take medications that affect blood sugar.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how blood sugar levels change during exercise in healthy adults and people with type 1 diabetes. It may help understand how the body responds to exercise differently from person to person.
This study looks at how eating or daily habits that promote weight gain (“obesogenic” lifestyle) affect fitness and health markers in young adults who already exercise. It may help researchers understand what lifestyle changes matter most, and whether certain patterns affect active people differently.
This study looks at how the timing of exercise affects blood sugar after meals. If you are a healthy, active young adult, you may be able to help by doing treadmill running and wearing a continuous glucose monitor.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
This study examines how your blood sugar levels change when you exercise. Researchers will monitor your glucose (blood sugar) during endurance activities to better understand how your body responds to exercise.
This study looks at how low physical activity, insulin resistance in small blood vessels, and cardiorespiratory fitness connect to diabetes and blood sugar control. You may be eligible if you are generally sedentary and fit within the weight range, and if you do not have certain heart, lung, nerve, or medication factors.
