Reviews literature on resistance training for blood glucose control in type-2 diabetes, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
summary Type-2 diabetes affects 18.2 million Americans, accounting for 90-95% of all cases. Aerobic exercise is well established and commonly prescribed for controlling blood glucose. However, few studies on resistance training exist. Recently, the impact of moderate and high-intensity resistance training has been examined with respect to blood glucose control and other metabolic variables in noninsulin-dependent diabetic individuals. This article reviews current literature on the effects of resistance training on glycemic control in type-2 diabetics.

Davis et al. (2007) conducted a review in Type-2 diabetes. Moderate and high-intensity resistance training was evaluated on Glycemic control (blood glucose control) and other metabolic variables. Moderate and high-intensity resistance training is reviewed for its effects on glycemic control in individuals with type-2 diabetes, which accounts for 90-95% of all 18.2 million US cases.
