ABSTRACT:

Introduction

An increasing number of studies have investigated the effect of exercise on flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), while the findings were controversial. The primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of exercise on FMD in T2DM patients, and the secondary aim was to investigate the optimal type, frequency, session duration, and weekly time of exercise for T2DM patients.

Methods

Searches were conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and EBSCO databases. The Cochrane risk of bias tool (RoB2) in randomized trial and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale were used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies.
