The rising incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) call for effective control of cardiovascular risk factors in order to prevent or at least delay deleterious effects of non-communicable diseases. In concert with dietary and pharmacological interventions, exercise training is a cornerstone of disease management in diabetic patients. Since approximately 75% of the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake occurs in skeletal muscles, increasing muscle mass through resistance training appears as a logical therapeutic approach...     «
