This book was released on 2008 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) arterial stiffness, heart rate variability (HRV), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and hyperaemic calf blood flow were measured before and after 12 weeks of combined aerobic and resistance exercise training. Arterial stiffness and HRV were also measured after 20 minutes of moderate, aerobic exercise pre and post exercise training. A single acute bout of aerobic exercise results in significantly elevated central arterial stiffness both before and after 12 weeks of training whereas AAI is reduced prior to training only. After 12 weeks of training, significant improvements were found in: C-F PWV (p=0.026); augmentation index (p= 0.005); peak oxygen uptake (p=.002) fasting plasma glucose (p=0.041), abdominal circumference (p=0.001), BMI (p=0.004) and body fat (p=0.032). Improvements in arterial stiffness were not associated with any change in anthropometric measurements, aerobic fitness, hs-CRP or indices of heart rate variability.
