No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purposes of this study are: a) to compare the effects of supervised programs of aerobic training or resistance training on the metabolic control of type 2 diabetes; b) to investigate some potential pathophysiologic and molecular mechanisms underlying these effects; c) to assess whether some changes may persist over time after termination of the supervised programs.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Aerobic Training

The aerobic training group will exercise on cardiovascular training equipment. The workload will be gradually increased up to 60% of the reserve heart rate. Subjects will exercise 3 times per week for 60 min in the Fitness Centre of the Exercise and Sport Science School. Training will be carried out in small groups, under the supervision of personal trainers. During the study subjects will be instructed to follow an isocaloric diet.

BEHAVIORAL

Resistance Training

The resistance training group will perform different exercises on weight machines and free weights to exercise upper and lower extremity muscles. Participants will perform 8-10 different exercises each session, alternating abdominal, upper and lower extremity exercises. Subjects will exercise 3 times per week for 60 min in the Fitness Centre of the Exercise and Sport Science School. Training will be carried out in small groups, under the supervision of personal trainers. During the study subjects will be instructed to follow an isocaloric diet.
