Implication

Randomised controlled trial comparing aerobic-resistance training and HIIT reveals improved insulin resistance and quality of life in type 2 diabetes.

Key Points

To compare the effects of combined aerobic-resistance training and high-intensity interval training on various health outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Single-centre, randomised controlled trial involving 90 participants aged 30–65 years with T2DM.
Participants were allocated to combined aerobic-resistance training, high-intensity interval training, or control groups.
Both exercise interventions were conducted 3–5 times weekly over 12 weeks and measured outcomes included fasting insulin and quality of life.
HIIT group showed a greater reduction in fasting glucose (MD -29.1 mg/dL) than control.
Both HIIT and A+R groups improved HbA1c significantly compared to control.
Functional capacity increased in both intervention groups as measured by the 6-minute walk distance.
