Resistance training improves glucose tolerance, reduces glycemia and increases fed insulinemia. Blood glucose of CON (black bar, n = 12) and RET (red bar, n = 14) during ipGTT (a). Area under the curve (AUC) of total blood glucose concentration of CON (black bar, n = 12) and RET (red bar, n = 14) during ipGTT (b). Blood glucose of CON (black bar, n = 12) and RET (red bar, n = 14) during ipITT (c). Constant of glucose disappearance expressed by KITT, CON (black bar, n = 12) and RET (red bar, n = 14) (d). Fasting (e) and fed glycemia (f) of CON (black bar, n = 12) and RET (red bar, n = 14). Plasma insulin of CON (black bar, n = 6–7) and RET (red bar, n = 7–8) in fasting (g) and fed (h) states. Data are the mean ± SEM. *P ≤ 0.05 (Student’s t-test).
