Summary:
In adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), combined aerobic and resistance training (CT)
significantly improved first- and second-phase insulin secretion and glucose effectiveness compared to aerobic training alone and resistance training alone, though it was associated with no reported serious adverse effects.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | Adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). |
| Intervention | Combined aerobic and resistance training (CT) performed regularly; specific exercise protocols not detailed. |
| Comparison | Single-modality training: either aerobic training alone or resistance training alone. |
| Outcome | Combined training significantly enhanced biphasic insulin secretion and glucose effectiveness relative to single-modality exercises, indicating superior improvement in β-cell function and glycemic control; no serious adverse events reported. |
