The effect of encapsulated soluble fiber on carohydrate metabolism during exercise.
Previous investigations have reported that soluble fiber reduces the plasma glucose and insulin changes after an oral glucose load. To improve the palatability of a soluble-fiber feeding, this study addressed how a combined, soluble fiber (delivered in capsule form) and a preexercise CHO feeding would affect metabolic responses during exercise. On 3 different days, participants ingested a placebo (CON), 75 g liquid CHO (GLU), or 75 g liquid CHO with 14.5 g encapsulated guar gum (FIB) 45 min before cycling for 60 min at 70% VO2 peak. Peak concentrations of plasma glucose and insulin were similar and significantly greater than CON preexercise (p < 05). Similarities in carbohydrate reliance were observed in GLU and FIB. Muscle glycogen use did not differ significantly among trials. These results demonstrate that encapsulated soluble fiber delivered with liquid CHO feeding does not affect plasma glucose, insulin, or muscle glycogen utilization during exercise.
