Research Abstract |
The present study was aimed to investigate whether glucose metabolic response differ between swimming and running incremental exercise. As results, it was suggested that blood glucose concentration do not increase compared to running exercise, even glycogen breakdown was promoted during swimming exercise according to the hormonal and expired gas analysis. Similar physiological response was also observed in highly trained triathlete. However, in not highly trained triathletes, completely opposite phenomena was observed compared to highly trainined athletes. It was concluded that there is a possibility that glucose metabolic response may differ by the difference in endurance capacity and recruited muscle mass during exercise.
