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