Abstract
Abstract
Background and purpose: Diabetes type 2 is an importance public health problem affecting more than 285 million people in the world. The purpose of the current review is to investigating and comparing the effect of different types of exercise on insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes in order to make a favorable summary and provide better and more useful information in choosing the type of exercise for these patients based on the results of previous research.
Materials and methods: In this study, articles were searched in Magiran, Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, and Springer databases and 115 related articles were selected based on the desired keywords. After reviewing 115 articles, 87 articles were included in the study based on the inclusion criteria that were close to the field of physical activity and diabetes. After re-examining the articles, 28 articles were selected with the aim of examining exercise training in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Findings: By studying the selected articles, it was concluded that aerobic training through weight loss and body fat percentage, resistance training through increasing muscle volume, intense interval training through activating adenosine monophosphate-activating protein kinase (AMPK) and combined training through Improving body composition has increased insulin sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Conclusion: The current review indicates that aerobic, resistance, HIIT and combined exercises (with any intensity, duration and type of exercise) increase insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. However, it seems that combined exercises have more and more beneficial effects.
