“…The study also showed that resistance exercise improves glycemic control, 97 , 104 , 114 – 130 insulin sensitivity, 105 , 106 , 114 , 115 , 117 , 129 insulin responsiveness, 116 insulin action, 70 physical functions, 131 and cardiopulmonary fitness, 132 decreases insulin resistance, 97 abdominal fat, 114 BMI, 132 insulin levels, 118 , 132 , 133 triacylglycerol levels, 118 lipid profile, 97 , 105 body fat, 132 HbA1c levels, 119 , 132 , 133 BP, 97 and cardiovascular risk, 106 and increases GLUT-4 translocation in skeletal muscle, 117 and strength 119 , 120 , 128 , 131 in T2DM patients. Further, during resistance training, raised energy expenditure and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption in response to resistance training are also considered as other beneficial effects 117 in these patients.…”
