Key result
One-year combined exercise training fails to improve HbA1c or VO2peak in diabetic CAD patients.
Why the study?
Does 1 year of combined exercise training improve HbA1c and VO2peak in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease?

Does 1 year of combined exercise training improve HbA1c and VO2peak in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease?
One year of exercise training did not significantly improve HbA1c or VO2peak in patients with T2D and CAD, though it improved exercise performance metrics like ventilatory threshold and time to exhaustion.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
1-year combined exercise does not improve HbA1c or VO2peak in T2D with CAD; challenges expectations and refocuses research on effective modalities.
Byrkjeland et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease (n=137). combined exercise training vs. control group was evaluated on HbA1c and VO2peak. One year of combined exercise training did not significantly improve HbA1c or VO2peak compared with control in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease.
