Review of the effects of physical activity on insulin sensitivity

Proefschrift dat onder andere een tweejarig interventie-onderzoek beschrijft naar het effect van een bewegingsprogramma bij personen met type 2 diabetes.

This research article shows that a high intensity exercise program compared to a low intensity exercise program of the same session duration and frequency, increases insulin sensitivity to a larger extend in healthy subjects. It also shows that the short insulin tolerance test can be used to detect differences …

The results of this study indicate that whole body metabolic and cardiovascular responses to 140 min of either steady state or variable intensity exercise at the same average intensity are similar, despite differences in skeletal muscle carbohydrate metabolism and recruitment
