In contrast, physical exercise has been shown to improve glucose tolerance and blunt the insulin response to a glucose load in insulin-resistant individuals. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of exercise on glucose tolerance and the insulin response in healthy women during the third trimester of pregnancy (33 weeks of gestation). Five subjects underwent oral glucose tolerance tests (a) 30 min following a 30-min exercise bout on a cycle ergometer at a relative intensity of 50% maximal aerobic capacity, and (b) on a control day without prior exercise. The area under the glucose concentration curve was not different between trials, while the area under the insulin concentration curve was decreased by 23% in the exercise trial compared with the control trial (P < 0.05). These results suggest that the insulin response to a glucose load is improved in late gestational women by a single bout of moderate intensity exercise.
