There are little data on the potential benefits and adverse events of statins among physically fit individuals.
Similar increases in cEPCs after exercise have been demonstrated in healthy, physically fit individuals, as well as in sedentary individuals with chronic disease [ 9].
This suggests that enhanced insulin delivery in physically fit individuals may contribute to the increased skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity seen with increasing fitness.
He showed that deprivation of deep sleep lowered the threshold for pain in sedentary people, but failed to do so in more physically fit individuals.
FIU during the clamp was nearly twofold greater in the 4 physically fit individuals (82 ± 16 vs. 46 ± 9; P = 0.06).
Furthermore, it is not evident that bad health goes with downward social mobility, since manual occupations, more often than non-manual occupations, require physically fit individuals [ 1].
The serum levels returned to baseline within 24 48 hours, which was considerably slower than in our study possibly because of more extreme exercise in these physically fit individuals [ 27].
This group had consisted of 10 highly selected and motivated young and physically fit individuals, with a ratio of men to women of 8 2 and an average age of 25 years.
Physical activity may counteract the diabetogenic impact of obesity by reducing fat mass, increasing fat oxidative capability or through other biological pathways, and obesity may be less detrimental to physically fit individuals with or without diabetes [ 6, 7].
We did not measure lactate in the current study but can surmise that blood lactate levels would have increased more during resistance exercise where glycolysis predominates (22) than during aerobic exercise where lipolysis generates much of the energy required (26), especially in physically fit individuals (21).
In this study, sufficient LTPA was associated with a lower prevalence of DIS, which is in accord with a large amount of research showing that exercise improves sleep latency [ 10, 11, 27] and physically fit individuals have shorter sleep latency [ 28].
