type 2 diabetes -vs- short duration high intensity training……
“This study investigated effects of high-intensity aerobic interval training on….Hemoglobin type A1C, insulin resistance….blood pressure, and blood lipid profile among persons with Type 2 diabetes.”
“38 individuals with Type 2 diabetes completed 12 weeks of supervised training. high-intensity aerobic interval training consisted of 4 × 4 minutes of walking or running uphill at 85–95% of maximal heart rate….”
.
“…..a reduction in HbA1c by −0.58% points (from 7.78 to 7.20%) was found in high-intensity aerobic interval training.”
.
“These improvements were significant different from Moderate intensity training.”
.
“High-intensity aerobic interval training is an effective exercise strategy to improve aerobic fitness and reduce risk factors associated with Type 2 diabetes.
