Testing different sugar mixes for endurance exercise
This study tests how different ratios of glucose and fructose (two types of sugar) affect your body during long exercise sessions. It may help athletes find the best fuel for endurance training.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.

This study tests if drinking a ketone supplement before exercise changes how your body uses carbs for fuel. It may help trained cyclists and triathletes understand fuel efficiency.
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 the body handles fructose (a natural sugar) in people with different weights. It may help explain why some people process sugars differently.
This trial looks at how working in a hot environment affects blood sugar control. It is testing if your body handles sugar differently during exercise in heat.
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 trial looks at how your body uses lactate and glycerol to make new sugar. It may help us understand blood sugar control in people with and without type 2 diabetes.
