Effect of low-volume combined aerobic and resistance high-intensity interval training on vascular health in people with type 2 diabetes: a randomised controlled trial.

Purpose: We compared the effects of low-volume combined aerobic and resistance high-intensity interval training (C-HIIT), combined moderate-intensity continuous training (C-MICT) and waitlist control (CON) on vascular health after 8-weeks of supervised training, and an additional 10-months of self-directed training, in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Methods: Sixty-nine low active adults with T2D were randomised to 8-weeks of supervised C-HIIT (3 times/week, 78-min/week), C-MICT (current exercise guidelines, 4 times/week, 210-min/week) or CON. CON underwent usual care for 8-weeks before being re-randomised to C-HIIT or C-MICT.

Comparing the Efficacy of Supervised and Unsupervised Exercise Training on Glycaemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review.

Background: Exercise training is vital for glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). While the positive effects of supervised exercise training are well established, unsupervised training may offer an alternative and more sustainable means of realising the benefits of exercise away from a resource-heavy supervised setting.

Objective: To evaluate the available literature and compare the efficacy of supervised and unsupervised exercise training programs on glycemic control in patients with T2D.

Subclinical LV dysfunction and 10-year outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: New imaging techniques have permitted the detection of subclinical LV dysfunction (LVD) in up to half of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) with a normal EF. However, the connection between early LVD and prognosis is unclear. This study aimed to define the long-term outcome of LVD associated with type 2 DM.

Exercise prescription for patients with type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes: a position statement from Exercise and Sport Science Australia.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and pre-diabetic conditions such as impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) are rapidly increasing in prevalence. There is compelling evidence that T2DM is more likely to develop in individuals who are insufficiently active. Exercise training, often in combination with other lifestyle strategies, has beneficial effects on preventing the onset of T2DM and improving glycaemic control in those with pre-diabetes.

Application of an exercise intervention on the evolution of diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus: efficacy and effectiveness.

Background: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. We studied the impact of an exercise-based lifestyle intervention on the evolution of DD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prospectively investigated the clinical correlates of DD progression.

Methods And Results: A total of 223 outpatients with T2DM were randomized to supervised exercise-based lifestyle intervention (initial gym-based program and lifestyle and diet advice followed by telephone-guided supervision) or usual care.

Acute response of blood glucose to short-term exercise training in patients with type 2 diabetes.

It is unclear whether the glucose lowering effects of an exercise session are augmented by training. Therefore, we sought to assess the effects of a four-week exercise training program on the acute response of blood glucose to a single exercise session in patients with T2DM. A Quasi experimental design was used.

Lifestyle change diminishes a hypertensive response to exercise in type 2 diabetes.

Purpose: A hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) is common in patients with type 2 diabetes and is associated with increased left ventricular (LV) mass and mortality. This study aimed to determine whether lifestyle modification would improve exercise blood pressure (BP) and reduce LV mass in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: One hundred and eighty-five patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized to 1 yr of lifestyle intervention (n=97, mean ± SD age=54.

Determinants of changes in blood glucose response to short-term exercise training in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of a 4-week exercise training intervention on blood glucose, insulin sensitivity, BMI (body mass index) and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with Type 2 diabetes, and to identify and establish criteria for patients who are more likely to improve their blood glucose from short-term exercise training. A randomized, controlled trial of exercise training, comprising two supervised and one non-supervised sessions of individualized cardiorespiratory and resistance exercise per week, was performed in 132 healthy patients with Type 2 diabetes (exercise training group, n=68), with the aim of accumulating a minimum of 150 min of moderate-intensity exercise for 4 weeks. BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood lipid profile, blood glucose, insulin, insulin sensitivity [calculated by HOMA(IR) (homoeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) and QUICKI (quantitative insulin check index)], beta-cell function (calculated by HOMA(beta-Cell)), HbA(1c) (glycated haemoglobin) and VO(2max) (maximal oxygen consumption) were measured at baseline and at 4 weeks.
