In Brief KIRSKA, A. Can a physically active lifestyle prevent type 2 diabetes? Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 31, No. 3, pp. 132–137, 2003. Recent clinical trials demonstrated that physical activity plays an important role in type 2 diabetes prevention. Their activity goals resembled public health recommendations: 150 min weekly of moderate intensity physical activity (brisk walking). The flexibility of this goal will make it easier to adopt by individuals of all ages and backgrounds and has the potential for being maintained over time. Recent findings from various clinical trials support the role of physical activity in type 2 diabetes prevention.
