Active body builders are insulin sensitive, but what happens when they quit body building?
I haven't seen any. What you might want to consider when comparing insulin sensitivity between current and retired bodybuilders is what season the current bodybuilders are in. Weight (BF%), caloric intake, and aerobic activity fluctuates quite heavily between the off season and in season for the same individual bodybuilder.
Right now, I don´t have information about that. Sorry
if you mean effects of detraining on insulin sensitivity, yes you can get many papers in google scholar and you can use "GLUT4 or hexokinase and detraining" as keywords. if you mean recovery period after acute session of resistance training you have to change your atitude about insulin sensitivity because IGf1 and growth hormone has more efficient effects on insulin sensitivity than insulin or GLUT4 itself
Thanks a lot! I found "training cessation" to be a good query as well.
