Abstract

Sedentary life style and obesity represent independent risk factors for the pathogenesis of impaired glucose tolerance and ultimately the diabetic paradigm [1]. As seen in Table 1, regular aerobic exercise has been shown to delay or even present the subsequent development of type-2 diabetes by directly improving insulin sensitivity, with favorable effects on metabolic control and cardiovascular risk factors, glycemic control, lipids and hypertension. Patients with type-2 diabetes should exercise 2.5 h weekly according to the American Heart Association [2].
