Visceral fat loss by whole-body electromyostimulation is attenuated in male and absent in female older Non-Insulin-Dependent diabetes patients.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes and its reversal correlate with increases and decreases in visceral fat (VF). Resistance exercise reduces VF in healthy persons, but little is known in type 2 diabetes. Muscle contractions induced by whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) provide a very effective form of resistance training.
