Why the study?
Does exercise prior to a freely requested meal modify pre- and postprandial glucose profile, substrate oxidation, and sympathovagal balance in young active men?
Population
9 young active male subjects
Comparison
75 min of exercise on a cycle ergometer… vs Rest performed 120 min after a standard breakfast

Pre-meal exercise may alter glucose and fat responses via vagal effects in active men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does exercise prior to a freely requested meal modify pre- and postprandial glucose profile, substrate oxidation, and sympathovagal balance in young active men?
Exercise prior to a meal increases postprandial incremental glucose response and fat oxidation, potentially mediated by vagal withdrawal.
Charlot et al. (2011) studied this question.
