Groups of endurance-trained masters athletes (60 +/- 2 yr), older untrained men (62 +/- 1 yr), lean older untrained men (61 +/- 2 yr), endurance-trained young athletes (26 +/- 1 yr), and young untrained men (28 +/- 1 yr) were studied to obtain information on the separate effects of age, physical activity, and body fatness on glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Each subject underwent an oral 100-g glucose tolerance test. Skinfold thickness was determined at six sites. The trained groups had a higher maximum O2 uptake capacity and lower sum of skinfolds than their sedentary peers. The lean older untrained group had a sum of skinfolds similar to that of the young untrained group. The masters athletes, young athletes, and young untrained men exhibited similar glucose tolerance whereas the two older untrained groups had an almost twofold greater total area under the glucose curve (P less than 0.05). The masters and young athletes had significantly blunted plasma insulin responses compared with the other three groups (P less than 0.05). The young and the lean older untrained groups had similar plasma insulin responses with significantly lower insulin levels than the older untrained group (P less than 0.05). These results provide evidence that regularly performed vigorous exercise can, in some individuals, prevent the deterioration of glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity with age.
