How fitness and body fat affect blood sugar after inactivity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how being less active for a short time affects blood sugar and blood vessels, and whether your fitness level or body fat plays a role. You will ride an electric scooter to reduce activity, then have tests done.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You can safely ride an electric scooter for at least 10 minutes.
- You are currently active (more than 7,000 steps and at least 1 mile of walking each day).
- Your weight has been stable for at least the past year.

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 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 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.
This trial looks at how breaking up long periods of sitting with short, easy-to-do exercise affects your body's ability to handle sugar after a meal. It's designed for adults who are overweight but otherwise healthy and not very active.
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.
This study tests whether taking short walks after meals and eating certain snacks can help adults with metabolic syndrome better control their blood sugar levels. You'll wear a glucose monitor and heart rate monitor while trying different activities and meals.
