Key result
Resistance training improves cardiometabolic markers, significantly reducing waist circumference and HbA1c in overweight T2DM.
Why the study?
Does resistance training alone improve cardiometabolic health-related outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity?

Resistance training as a standalone intervention improves cardiometabolic markers including glycemic control and adiposity in patients with T2DM and overweight/obesity.
Al-Mhanna et al. (2025) conducted a meta-analysis in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight/obesity (n=1,180). Resistance training vs. Non-exercising standard treatment was evaluated on Waist circumference (SMD -0.85, 95% CI -1.66 to -0.04). Resistance training improved cardiometabolic indices, including waist circumference (SMD -0.85; 95% CI -1.66 to -0.04) and HbA1c, compared with standard treatment in T2DM with overweight/obesity.
