The preexercise CHO beverage induced the least dramatic BG decrease during exercise. The PROT breakfast induced an overall similar BG drop compared to PL, a larger BG drop compared to CHO, but a similar rate of hypoglycemia compared to CHO. Our results suggest that taking CHO supplement before unplanned exercise is still the best strategy to prevent exercise-induced hypoglycemia in an adolescent population. However, a protein supplement strategy may also have some benefits in limiting the rate of hypoglycemia during and immediately after exercise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
