Purpose and methods This review presents established knowledge on the effects of physical
activity (PA) on whole-body insulin sensitivity (SI) and summarises the findings of recent …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of regular exercise training on insulin
sensitivity in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using the pooled data available …

Purpose Exercise improves insulin resistance and is a first line for the prevention and
treatment of type 2 diabetes. The extent, however, to which these response are dose …

Muscle insulin resistance plays a major pathophysiological role in type 2 diabetes and is
associated with major public health problems, including obesity and coronary artery …

Physical activity has been advocated in the treatment of diabetes mellitus from as early as
the 5th century [116]. More recent epidemiological studies have provided evidence that the …

Type 2 diabetes is an increasingly prevalent condition with complications including
blindness and kidney failure. Evidence suggests that type 2 diabetes is associated with a …

Aims/hypothesis It is not known whether the beneficial effects of exercise training on insulin
sensitivity are due to changes in hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity or whether the …

Exercise training causes a decline in basal and glucose-stimulated plasma insulin levels
and improves glucose tolerance. Furthermore evidence has been presented for effects on …

There is a general perception that increased physical activity will improve glucose
homeostasis in all individuals. While this is an attractive concept, this conclusion may be …

After a single bout of exercise, the ability of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake is markedly
improved locally in the previously active muscles. This makes exercise a potent stimulus …
