Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study determined influence of exercise in hypoxia on glucose metabolism. The findings from experiments over 3 years indicated that exercise, including pedaling exercise, running exercise, was effective for promoting glucose metabolism. Moreover, augmented glucose metabolism by exercise in hypoxia was commonly observed in athletes, normal people and obese people. Furthermore, exercise in hypoxia did not promote exercise-induced muscle damage and inflammatory responses, and oxidation stress compared with the same exercise in normoxia. However, exercise in hypoxia did not affect acutely glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity after the exercise.
