Transient effect of aerobic exercise training on insulin sensitivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of long-term aerobic exercise training on insulin sensitivity in healthy premenopausal women while controlling for energy balance was investigated, and it was found that exercise training elicited an increase in VO2peak from pre-training to all three post-training evaluations, but then returned to levels not different from baseline at subsequent two evaluations.
