“…Exercise is associated with improved insulin sensitivity through various mechanisms (e.g., increased postreceptor insulin-signaling, increased GLUT protein, increased delivery of glucose to muscle, and decrease in body fat; Yardley et al, 2010). According to the current recommendations of the American Diabetes Association, adult humans should perform at least 150 min/week of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity with no more than 2 consecutive days without exercise (American Diabetes Association, 2013).…”

“…In other words, 1-week aerobic exercise can improve your body's sensitivity to insulin in peripheral tissues irrespective of insulin usage. Optimally, subjects with diabetes should engage in regular PA on a daily basis, and the shorter the exposure to PA, the higher the effort is needed to get the same effect on insulin sensitivity for lasting effect [19].…”

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a noncommunicable, lifestyle-related chronic metabolic disorder of global involvement, characterized by elevated blood sugar levels, manifested by hyperglycaemia, polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia. DM is associated with acute and chronic complications which lead to reduced quality of life, premature morbidity and mortality. T2DM is linked with overweight, obesity, reduced physical activity and a genetic component. T2DM is named a silent killer because the primary disease is silent at the early stage and usually gets diagnosed when presenting with a vascular event such as stroke or heart attack. Impaired cardiorespiratory fitness plays a crucial role in acceleration of cardiovascular complications resulting in premature organ damage, morbidity and mortality. Regular physical activity, resistance training and reduction in sedentary life style along with diet control and drugs help to control DM and prevent or delay complications. This chapter deals with diabetes as a disease, its prevalence, risk factors, signs and symptoms, pathophysiology, pathogenesis and underlying mechanisms, acute and chronic complications, along with measures to enhance cardiorespiratory fitness and control DM and a word of caution to the younger generation to be aware of the silent killer.

“…Physical activity refers to “the expenditure of energy above that of resting by contraction of skeletal muscle to produce bodily movement,” while exercise is “a type of physical activity that involves planned, structured and repetitive bodily movement performed for the purpose of improving physical fitness” [6, page 359]. Physical activity and exercise will be used interchangeably in this paper.…”

“…Physical activity is considered to be a cornerstone of T2DM prevention and management [ 2 , 4 ], and it is important to have accurate information for health care organizations to integrate into their knowledge management strategies [ 5 ]. Physical activity refers to “the expenditure of energy above that of resting by contraction of skeletal muscle to produce bodily movement,” while exercise is “a type of physical activity that involves planned, structured and repetitive bodily movement performed for the purpose of improving physical fitness” [ 6 , page 359].

Objective. This paper analyzes the effects of resistance training (RT) on metabolic, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular functions in older adults (mean age ≥ 65 years) with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Research Design and Methods. A systematic review conducted by two reviewers of the published literature produced 3 records based on 2 randomized controlled trials that assessed the effect of RT on disease process measures and musculoskeletal/body composition measures. Statistical, Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (version 2) software was used to compute Hedge's g, and results were calculated using the random effects model to account for methodological differences amongst studies. Results. Largest effect of RT was seen on muscle strength; especially lower body strength, while the point estimate effect on body composition was small and not statistically significant. The cumulative point estimate for the T2DM disease process measures was moderate and statistically significant. Conclusions. RT generally had a positive effect on musculoskeletal, body composition, and T2DM disease processes measures, with tentative conclusions based on a low number of completed RCTs. Thus, more research is needed on such programs for older adults (≥65 years) with T2DM.
