  Figure 2. Overview of the acute within-subjects crossover design. Each participant completed a virtually supervised BWE and CON trial with the CGM device inserted to measure glycemic responses in the 24 h following each trial. Plate and cutlery = pre-packaged, individualized, controlled meals. Bottle = 75 g oral glucose drink. BWE bodyweight exercise, CGM continuous glucose monitoring, CON control, sitting.

  Figure 6. Individual responses of the change in 24 h mean glucose between the CON and BWE conditions. Each bar represents data for 1 participant where the change score = CON value minus BWE value. Positive net values represent participants whose 24 h mean glucose was greater in the CON condition whereas negative values coincide with the 24 h mean glucose being greater in the BWE condition. Gray bars represent male participants and darker bars represent female participants.
