ImpactHigh impact

Users believe this research significantly influences understanding and treatment strategies for type 2 diabetes, highlighting its potential impact on health practices.

Abstract in brief

  • High-intensity resistance exercise significantly reduces HbA1c and insulin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, showing greater benefits compared to low-to-moderate intensity exercise.
  • The meta-analysis of 24 trials involving 962 patients found that higher exercise intensity correlates with better glycemic control, especially in lowering blood sugar markers.
  • While blood glucose levels showed only a modest decrease overall, the most notable improvements were seen with high-intensity exercise in reducing HbA1c and insulin, highlighting its importance in managing type 2 diabetes.]

つまり、有酸素運動にせよ筋トレにせよ、低強度よりも高強度の方がよりHbA1cは低下し、インスリン分泌も低下し高インスリン状態が緩和される。 https://t.co/QTXk9RHJIq

There's tons of research showing the benefits of physical activity, both aerobic & resistance training (RT). Here are some awesome papers talking about RT and type 2 diabetes. Adding to my thread the other day about simplifying RT Rx, this is why!
