La stimolazione di forza nel diabetico di tipo 2

Physical exercise, along with diet and drug therapy, is one of the three cornerstones of the treatment and therapy for type 2 diabetes. The advantages of regular physical activity used therapeutically is enhanced by its non-drug nature, its beneficial effects on the metabolic risk factors associated with the complications of diabetes, and its low cost. According to evidence collected in recent years, aerobical endurance exercise is a safe, feasible and effective mode of intervention in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, thanks to its insulin-sensitizing effects, also in relation to survival. Intense physical exercise, i.e. the anaerobic one, which is typical of force or power disciplines, is not unambiguously deemed so safe and easily implementable as the aerobic one, however, it is equally important to the purpose of stimulating stimulate energy - and glucose in particular - metabolisms. The captioned research resumes the latest indications emerging from extensive literature which supports the beneficial effects of strength and muscle condtioning stimulation for type 2 diabetics, as far as there is no medical contraindication.
