History of Changes
  Purpose

The aim of the study is to 1) delineate the molecular mechanisms behind the large variation in insulin sensitivity among apparently healthy subjects and to 2) establish the dose-response relationship between physical training and a) metabolic health, b) appetite and c) cultural health.

Further study details as provided by University of Copenhagen:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline in insulin sensitivity at 12 weeks [ Time Frame: At baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    As measured by a hyperinsulinemic, isoglycemic clamp combined with skeletal muscle and adipose tissue biopsies as well as low-dose PET/CT.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change from baseline in body composition af 2, 6 and 12 weeks [ Time Frame: At baseline, 2, 6 and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    As measured by DEXA- and MRI-scanning.

  • Change from baseline in appetite at 12 weeks [ Time Frame: At baseline and 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    As measured by food records, controlled diets, meal tests and appetite hormones

  • Motivational factors for exercise [ Time Frame: During and for up to 1½ year after the intervention ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Ethnographic field work

  • Diameter of t-tubuli in skeletal muscle [ Time Frame: At baseline ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    As measured in skeletal muscle biopsies by electron and confocal microscopy
