A combination of weight training and aerobic exercise may be more effective than either type of exercise alone in staving off Type 2 diabetes, according to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Researchers divided 251 Type-2-diabetes patients between the ages of 39 and 70 who were not regular exercisers before the study began into four groups: one that continued to do no exercise, one that did 45 minutes of aerobic exercise three times per week, one that did 45 minutes of weight (resistance) training three times per week, and one that did 45 minutes of each type of exercise three times per week (i.e., a total of 4.5 hours of exercise per week).
