The effect of physical exercise on the glycemic index of non-smoking football players during the training session

Abstract

The study aims to highlight the differences between the glycemic levels of non-smoking football players, depending on the type of exercise applied (high and low intensity).We relied on the experimental approach because of the interference in the intensity of exercise on the research sample consisting of a male team and another female group.After conducting the selected physical tests, the lateral jumping test and the twenty-minute running test, we concluded that:

1. There are statistically significant differences between the levels of glycemic index between resting and low-intensity exercise for both sexes, in favor of exercise.


2. There are statistically significant differences between the levels of glycemic index between rest and high-intensity exercise for both sexes, in favor of exercise.
