Background: Exercise is a non-pharmacological intervention for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), including moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Despite diverse exercise protocol variations, the impact of these variations in HIIT on T2DM anthropometrics, glycemic control, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) remains unclear.

Objective: The aim was to examine the influence of HIIT protocol characteristics on anthropometrics, glycemic control, and CRF in T2DM patients and compare it to control (without exercise) and MICT.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how plasma leptin impacts fat oxidation and insulin sensitivity in young adults, focusing on differences between men and women.
  • - In men, higher leptin levels correlated with lower maximal fat oxidation during exercise (MFO) and better insulin secretion; while in women, higher leptin was linked to increased resting fat oxidation (RFO) and insulin sensitivity but also lower MFO.
  • - The relationship between leptin and MFO in both sexes is influenced by cardiorespiratory fitness rather than fat mass, suggesting that fitness plays a significant role in how leptin affects fat metabolism.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study investigated how a specific gene variation (PPARGC1A rs8192678 C>T) affects health indicators in young adults, studying 74 individuals (28 women) from Andalusia, Spain.
  • - Key health factors analyzed included body composition, metabolism, blood pressure, and insulin sensitivity, revealing significant differences related to the gene variation, particularly in body mass and BP recovery.
  • - The findings suggest the CC genotype may provide protective benefits, with notable differences in how men and women respond to the gene variation, especially regarding insulin sensitivity.

Background: Due to the prevalence and incidence worldwide of type 2 diabetes, and the significant role physical activity plays in these patients, a systematic review has been conducted to find out the effects that high-intensity interval training has on inflammatory biomarkers in subjects with type 2 diabetes. This project aims to determine the effect this training modality has on inflammatory biomarkers, in addition to observing its effects on the values of body composition and determining if this is a more effective, less effective or equally effective alternative to standard aerobic or resistance training.

Methods: A search was conducted in the months of November and December 2020 on different databases: Pubmed, WoS and PEDro.

The present work aimed to examine the association between physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour with maximal fat oxidation (MFO) in young individuals. A total of 77 active adults (30 women; 22.8 ± 4.

Article Synopsis
  • A study involving 74 healthy adults investigated how ACE I/D polymorphism affects various health metrics, including body fat and blood pressure.
  • Results indicated significant differences in systolic blood pressure and body fat among the different genotypes, with the II genotype showing a potentially protective effect.
  • Additionally, the study found that the impact of ACE I/D polymorphism on maximal fat oxidation varied between men and women, highlighting a difference in how the genotypes influence MFO based on sex.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the relationship between resting fat oxidation (RFO), maximal fat oxidation (MFO), FatMax, and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) in 81 healthy adults.
  • Findings showed that while RFO was not associated with CMR, MFO, FatMax, and maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax) were correlated with various CMR factors like waist circumference and plasma triglycerides.
  • Participants with higher levels of MFO and VOmax exhibited lower CMR, and these associations remained significant even when controlling for age and sex.
