Abstract:
There are numerous beneficial effects of physical activity for diabetes mellitus treatment and prevention. Irrespective of diet or weight loss, exercise training reduces HbA1c by an amount that should reduce diabetic complications, improves cardiorespiratory fitness that is a predictor of mortality, and improves body composition. Endurance training is usually prescribed, but resistance training is nowadays recommended. Prior to initiating physical programm, medical screening (usual diabetic complications, cardiovascular status) is needed. To allow a long term behavioural change, individually tailored advice and special attention to barriers are needed.
