Abstract

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max.), glucose tolerance (K-value), and insulin response (IRI-area) were studied in seventeen young, non-obese, non-diabetic males. The ratio between K-value and IRI-area correlated significantly with VO2 max. (r = 0.70, p < 0.01) also when differences in body fat mass were eliminated by partial correlation analysis (r = 0.56, p < 0.05). Subjects with a high VO2 max. thus maintained a given glucose tolerance with a lower insulin response than did subjects in whom VO2 max. was low.
