Abstract in brief

  • The study tested whether 16 weeks of high-intensity resistance training (PRT) could improve blood sugar control and related health markers in older Latino adults with type 2 diabetes, showing significant benefits such as lower hemoglobin A1c, increased muscle glycogen, and reduced need for medication.
  • Participants doing PRT experienced improvements including increased lean muscle mass, lower systolic blood pressure, and less trunk fat compared to a control group, with the intervention proving safe and feasible as part of standard diabetes care.
  • Overall, resistance exercise was found to be an effective strategy for managing diabetes and associated metabolic issues in high-risk older adults.]
