Background: The usefulness of adapted small-sided games (SSGs) in improving cardiac function in subjects with T2DM is still debated. Here we evaluated the effects of 18 weeks indoor muscular activation training (6 weeks; IMA) followed by adapted SSGs football training (12 weeks) on cardiac function, muscular fitness, body composition and adiponectin expression in sedentary T2DM volunteers.
Methods: Six T2DM patients underwent IMA protocol of 6 weeks, twice a week followed by 12 weeks SSGs (5-a-side, once a week) training.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks at how high blood sugar levels for a short time might affect blood flow in healthy people.
- They measured heart flow using a special test in 13 healthy men, checking both when their blood sugar was normal and when it was raised.
- The results showed that having high blood sugar for a short time didn't change the way their heart's blood flow responded, meaning their hearts stayed healthy.
