Article Synopsis
- Virtual exercise programs became popular during COVID-19 to keep at-risk groups, like those with type-2 diabetes (T2DM), safe, but research on their effectiveness compared to in-person programs is limited.* -
- A 12-week study analyzed the effects of tele-exercise on blood glucose levels in T2DM participants, finding that both teletraining and in-person exercise produced similar results over time.* -
- While the in-person group had slightly better blood glucose improvements, both exercise formats demonstrated clinically relevant benefits, suggesting that home-based teletraining can effectively manage glycemia in people with T2DM.*
