“…A systematic review and meta-analysis found higher frequency of regular leisuretime physical activity was more effective in reducing A1C levels (191). A wide range of activities, including yoga, tai chi, and other types, can have significant impacts on A1C, flexibility, muscle strength, and balance (167,(192)(193)(194). Flexibility and balance exercises may be particularly important in older adults with diabetes to maintain range of motion, strength, and balance (177).…”

“…Since osteoarthritis can be a barrier to physical activity (52), water-based physical activities, such as swimming, walking or running in a pool, or aquatic fitness classes have been encouraged for people with such comorbidities (53,54). While few highquality trials exist, a recent meta-analysis suggests aquatic exercise improves A1C compared to no exercise comparison groups and that the improvements are comparable to those obtained with landbased exercise (55).…”

“…Recent investigations in people with DM and cardiovascular disease have reported beneficial effects following unconventional forms of exercise, such as aquatic-based exercise, Nordic walking, specific gym-fitness activities, Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, and dance-based activities. Less common approaches have been shown to induce positive cardiovascular effects, also improving general well-being, social inclusion, and quality of life of the participants [141][142][143][144][145][146][147].…”
