Effect of regular exercise training on changes in HbA1c, BMI and VO₂max among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: an 8-year trial

Abstract

Long-term regular physical activity training was found to be helpful in improving glycemic control, body composition and cardiovascular fitness among patients with T2DM. Long-term continuous physical activity offsets the deteriorations of biological indicators found in the control group. Further research, with a particular focus on practical and real-world programming, is needed to determine the responsive health outcomes of such long-term programs on the patients.
