Figure 5.

Forest plot showing comparisons of glycemic responses (as measured by both the glucose AUC and the 24 h mean glucose level between pre-meal and post-meal exercise conditions). The X-axis denotes effect size derived from the random-effect meta-analysis. The data in the center-right column specify the conditions under which PPE and CON were compared, while the far-right column provides the effect size and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each comparison. The diamond at the bottom represents the pooled effect size (Hedges’ g = −0.271; SE = 0.072; 95% CI = −0.357, −0.085; p < 0.05) based on all the studies combined.
