Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

As measured by DEXA- and MRI-scanning.
Change from baseline in appetite at 12 weeks
As measured by food records, controlled diets, meal tests and appetite hormones
Motivational factors for exercise
Ethnographic field work
Diameter of t-tubuli in skeletal muscle
As measured in skeletal muscle biopsies by electron and confocal microscopy

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to 1) delineate the molecular mechanisms behind the large variation in insulin sensitivity among apparently healthy subjects and to 2) establish the dose-response relationship between physical training and a) metabolic health, b) appetite and c) cultural health.
