We have valued in 8 individuals subjected to muscular moderate work the degree of use of glucose in the body tissues, measured by means of K-Conard, and the role that holds the insulin hormone in this particular condition. The IVGTT was carried out in 8 individuals, at first, in condition of relax. In the same individuals, the day after, the IVGTT was carried out after 5 minutes from the beginning of muscular work to cycloergometer set a 50 watts for a term of 30 minutes. The study demonstrates that, during the muscular moderate work, we have an improvement, statistically significant, of the use of glucose, measured by means of K-Conard (t = 2.42; P less than 0.05). Then, it demonstrates that the muscular moderate work has not any influence on plasmatic concentrations of insulin.
