Question

Discuss what you think will happen to blood glucose responses under the four experimental conditions at these time points (provide some hypothetical numbers for the time points). In addition, provide a logical explanation regarding your thoughts. You can use drawings, illustrations, etc. to come up with your explanation.

1. Subject A . Mode:Treadmill Running .Intensity:70% VO_{2max .}Duration:15 minutes. Carbohydrate Beverage:Gatorade (Glucose Beverage-(8 oz). Consume Gatorade and wait 30 minutes prior to starting exercise

a. 5 min blood glucose sample:

b. 10 min blood glucose sample:

c. 15 min blood glucose sample:

2. Subject B. Mode:Treadmill Running . Intensity:70% VO_2max. Duration:15 minutes .Beverage:Water(8 oz)and Immediately start exercising

a. 5 min blood glucose sample:

b. 10 min blood glucose sample:

c. 15 min blood glucose sample:

3. Subject C. Mode:Treadmill Running . Intensity:70% VO_2max. Duration:15 minutes. Beverage:Gatorade (Glucose Beverage-(8 oz). Consume Gatorade and immediately start exercise

a. 5 min blood glucose sample:

b. 10 min blood glucose sample:

c. 15 min blood glucose sample:

Subject D. Mode:Treadmill Running. Intensity:70% VO_2max. Duration:15 minutes. Beverage:Water (8 oz)and wait 30 minutes prior to exercise.

a. 5 min blood glucose sample:

b. 10 min blood glucose sample:

c. 15 min blood glucose sample:

Answer 1

1. there is no relevant change in the glucose level if the subject is a non -daibetic in 5 and 10 min.

because after consuming glucose beverage the blood sugar level must be increased, but which is decreased by adequate insulin secretion.

but in third case after 15 min. blood sugar may rised since increased activity may require more energy and glucose , so there must be glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis happened

2. a) blood glucose may detected after 5 min. in high amount

b) after 10 min starting decreasing blood glucose due to burning of energy

c) blood glucose in lower limits started using fats for energy requirement by body

3) fluid forms can be easily increases blood glucose levels

after 5 min blood glucose is very high , later decreasing on activities

4) a) no change in blood glucose

b) glucose started decreasing due to energy burning

c) lower limit of blood glucose level, no glucose is available for burning ,started energy deriving from fat and glucose for activity.

in short,fluid beverages can increase blood glucose level fastly than solid food like pizza

the body secretes insulin in response to the availability of carbohydrate or food in normal individual.

once the glucose is not available for energy production then body uses fat for the production of energy
