Tissue-specific metabolic effects of exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Tables
Aerobic exercise: At least 150 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous exercise Spread over 3 to 7 days/week, with no more than 2 consecutive days between exercise bouts
Daily exercise is suggested to maximize insulin action
Shorter durations (at least 75 minutes/week) of vigorous-intensity or interval training may be sufficient for younger and more physically fit patients
May be performed continuously, or as high-intensity interval training
Resistance exercise: Progressive moderate to vigorous resistance training should be completed 2 to 3 times/ week on nonconsecutive days At least 8 to 10 exercises, with completion of 1 to 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions
Flexibility and balance training are recommended 2 to 3 times/week for older adults Participation in supervised training programs is recommended to maximize health benefits of exercise in type 2 diabetes Data from Colberg et al.18
