Combined training increases thermogenic fat activity in patients with overweight and type 2 diabetes.

Background: Exercise is an important strategy in the management of diabetes. Experimental studies have shown that exercise acts, at least in part, by inducing the production of myokines that improve metabolic control and activate brown/beige adipose tissue depots. Combined training (CT) is recommended by the major diabetes guidelines due to its metabolic and cardiovascular benefits, however, its impact on brown/beige adipose tissue activities has never been tested in humans with overweight and type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Combined Training Reduces Subclinical Inflammation in Obese Middle-Age Men.

Purpose: We investigated the effects of 24 wk of combined training on proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory markers associated with obesity in obese middle-age men.

Methods: Thirty obese men (48.73 ± 1.
