Key result
Exercise-induced hyperemia may enhance vascular insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and brain.
Why the study?
Does physical activity improve vascular insulin sensitivity in the skeletal muscle and brain?
Does physical activity improve vascular insulin sensitivity in the skeletal muscle and brain?
This paper proposes the hypothesis that exercise-induced hyperemia and vascular shear stress are key mechanisms by which physical activity enhances vascular insulin sensitivity.

Remains hypothesis-generating for exercise effects on vascular insulin sensitivity; prospective trials needed before clinical consideration.
We present the hypothesis that exercise-induced hyperemia, perhaps through vascular shear stress, represents an important factor responsible for the effects of physical activity (PA) on vascular insulin sensitivity. Specifically, we postulate PA involving the greatest amount of skeletal muscle mass and the greatest central neural recruitment maximizes perfusion and consequently enhances vascular insulin sensitivity in the skeletal muscle and brain.

Olver et al. (2019) conducted a review in Vascular insulin sensitivity. Physical activity was evaluated. Exercise-induced hyperemia is hypothesized to enhance vascular insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle and brain, particularly when involving large muscle mass and central neural recruitment.
