High-intensity Resistance Training improves both biochemical and clinical markers in Type 2 Diabetic Patients, finds a new study.

Researchers in a recent study have concluded that resistance training significantly improves biochemical and clinical disease markers, including fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and fat mass in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Based on the study's findings, they added that high-intensity resistance training is superior to medium-low-intensity training.

The study has been published in Healthcare.

It is already known that Resistance training is an adjunctive therapy in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

In the present study, researchers investigated differences in the treatment effects of different resistance training intensities about glycemia, lipids, blood pressure, adaptations, and body measurements. Researchers researched databases like PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus databases (cut-off date April 2022).

The key points of the research are:

Thirty-six randomized controlled trials were included.
There were a total of 1491 participants.
The resistance training significantly improved HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin), fasting blood glucose, TG (triglycerides), TC(total cholesterol), and LDL (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) levels.
Researchers reported a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure, per cent of fat mass, and HOMA-IR (homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance) indexes.
There were different effects observed with high and medium-low intensity resistance training. (HOMA-IR, maximal oxygen consumption, weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and BMI).
Only medium-low intensity resistance training decreased HOMA-IR.
There was superiority in the treatment effects of high-intensity resistance training compared to medium-low intensity.
Only one study presented with a skeletal muscle injury.

They said that "high-intensity resistance training is a better option to assist in the treatment of T2DM."

Elaborating further, they said high-intensity resistance training reduces the risk of diabetic complications more than medium-low-intensity resistance training.

For HbA1c high, intensity resistance training reduced the risk of diabetes complications by 3.4% more than medium-low intensity resistance training. The difference in treatment effect between medium-low and high-intensity resistance training did not reach statistical significance, but the practical importance of treatment differences must be addressed.
