Testing mediator variables in a resistance training intervention for obese adults with type 2 diabetes

Effects of Combined Training on Progranulin, Glycosylated Hemoglobin, and Insulin Resistance in Overweight and Obese Women with Type 2 Diabetes

Introduction: Progranulin (PGRN) has been recently introduced as a new indicator of chronic inflammatory response in type 2 diabetes. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of combined training on serum levels of progranulin, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and insulin resistance in overweight and obese women with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: A total of 36 women were divi...

Resistance exercise training lowers HbA1c more than aerobic training in adults with type 2 diabetes

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 10 weeks of resistance or treadmill exercises on glycemic indices levels prior to and immediately following exercise in adults with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD Twenty inactive subjects (mean age 53.5 years) with type 2 diabetes enrolled in the study. Baseline HbA1c, blood glucose levels, heart rate, and blood press...

Resistance training for obese, type 2 diabetic adults: a review of the evidence.

In both developed and developing countries, increased prevalence of obesity has been strongly associated with increased incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the adult population. Previous research has emphasized the importance of physical activity in the prevention and management of obesity and T2DM, and generic exercise guidelines originally developed for the wider population have b...

serum adiponectin levels are inversely correlated with insulin resistance in obese men with type 2 diabetes

The Effect of Combined Training (Endurance- Resistance) and Ginger Supplementation on Cardiorespiratory Endurance, Body Composition and Insulin Resistance among Obese Females with Type 2 Diabetes

Background & objectives: Diabetes mellitus, as a metabolic disease, is associated with impaired insulin resistance index and cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a concurrent exercise and Ginger supplementation on cardiorespiratory endurance, body composition, and insulin resistance index in obese women with type 2 diabetes. Methods: 60 women ...
