Impact of continuous vs. interval training on oxygen extraction and cardiac function during exercise in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Exercise training improves exercise capacity in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It remains to be elucidated whether such improvements result from cardiac or peripheral muscular adaptations, and whether these ...

Asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus display a reduced myocardial deformation but adequate response during exercise
The development of myocardial fibrosis is a major complication of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), impairing myocardial deformation and, therefore, cardiac performance. It remains to be established whether abn...

Critical Reappraisal of the Role and Importance of Exercise Intervention in the Treatment of Obesity in Adults
In the treatment of obesity in adults, exercise intervention is recommended and some people with obesity even prefer exercise above dietary intervention as a single weight-loss strategy. However, evidence is a...

Chronotropic Incompetence During Exercise in Type 2 Diabetes: Aetiology, Assessment Methodology, Prognostic Impact and Therapy
During incremental exercise tests, chronotropic incompetence (CI), which is the inability of the heart rate (HR) to rise in proportion to an increase in metabolic demand, is often observed in patients with typ...

Article
Are fixed-rate step tests medically safe for assessing physical fitness?
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) can be predicted by fixed-rate step tests. However, it remains to be analyzed as to what exercise intensities are reached during such tests to address medical safety. In this study,...

Open AccessPlasma adipokine and inflammatory marker concentrations are altered in obese, as opposed to non-obese, type 2 diabetes patients
Elevated plasma free fatty acid (FFA), inflammatory marker, and altered adipokine concentrations have been observed in obese type 2 diabetes patients. It remains unclear whether these altered plasma concentrat...
