Effect of short duration moderate intensity physical activity on glycemic control and antioxidant status of prediabetic population

Abstract

To determine the effect of moderateintensity physical activity on glycemic control and antioxidant status in the prediabetic population.

Effect of Cryolipolysis on Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetic Females with Abdominal Obesity

“…A number of studies were analyzed in a meta-analysis by Shah et al [32] on the therapeutic effects of exercise on glycemic control in 184 patients with T2DM were conducted using electronic databases. Studies with an exercise intervention lasting more than 8 weeks were included and revealed decreases in HbA1c, FBG, BMI, and waist circumference after the exercise intervention [33,34], which agreed with our results.…”

Higher daily physical activity levels may facilitate pre-diabetes regression to normoglycemia: A longitudinal study among an Iranian population

“…Although, our findings indicated that the benefit of PA in Pre-DM subjects could be achieved even by relatively low levels (i.e., 5% increased chance of Pre-DM regression per each 500 MET-min/week ∼ 90 min walking for exercise with a rate of 3.5 miles/hours), considerable significant benefits are afforded for higher levels of PA (i.e., >1500 MET-min/week). Although previous studies reported the benefit of exercise programs on glucose homeostasis ( Chang et al, 2020 , Qu et al, 2022 , Shah et al, 2021 ) and indicated the protective effect of PA against the development of T2D ( Aune et al, 2015 , Smith et al, 2016 ), it was not distinguished how much PA levels are needed to prevent developing T2D in Pre-DM subjects or facilitate Pre-DM regression to normoglycemia. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first cohort of Pre-DM subjects to assess the possible association of PA levels with the regression/ progression of Pre-DM simultaneously.…”

“…Adhering to the PA recommendations (at least 150 min/week of moderate-intensity activities) significantly improved glycemic control and cardiometabolic health among adults with pre-DM ( Qu et al, 2022 ). An 8-week moderate exercise program (i.e., 30 min PA with heart rate max 7% for 5 days/week) in pre-DM subjects significantly improved glycemic control and enhanced total antioxidant capacity ( Shah et al, 2021 ). The aerobic-based activities spread as either 3 short (10–15 min) or frequent brief (1–5 min) bouts improved postprandial glucose and glycated hemoglobin in subjects with Pre-DM and T2D ( Chang et al, 2020 ).…”
