Research participants needed
For a research study concerning the effect of strength training on insulin sensitivity, a UGA graduate student is looking for healthy 55–75-year-old males and females who are not currently involved in a structured exercise program. Participants will gain valuable information on their risk for developing diabetes and learn how strength training can help reduce their risk. Participants will have their blood glucose and insulin measured, learn proper weight-lifting techniques, and receive information on the effect of resistance exercise on the effectiveness of the hormone insulin in removing sugar from the blood. For more information, call Kristie Skinner, 583-0223.
