What effects does aerobic training have on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes?
A randomized trial conducted by Sigal et al. in 2007 found that aerobic training had a positive effect on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients. The study found that aerobic training, resistance training, or a combination of both improved glycemic control more than standard treatment alone. Patients who exercised also experienced improved cardiovascular health and reduced risk of cardiovascular events. The study concluded that aerobic training is an effective intervention for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients.
