Mechanisms by Which Strength Training Ameliorates the Metabolic Syndrome

NCT00727779 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Summary

Prevention and treatment strategies for diabetes use exercise as the cornerstone. Even though endurance training and strength training both improve insulin resistance, strength training may be better suited for persons at risk for type 2 diabetes. We will expand our pilot studies of muscle adaptation induced by resistance exercise training to determine the biochemical mechanisms that will cause people with the Metabolic Syndrome to secure major benefit from intense strength training.
