Praet SF, van Loon LJ

Description

An interesting and practical review on how to implement an exercise program in patients with type 2 diabetes. The review addresses the issue of considering both endurance and resistance training to prevent sarcopenia in sedentary patients with type 2 diabetes who often have less lean muscle mass. It also emphasizes the need to properly assess the patient’s condition before prescribing a tailored exercise program.
