Revisiting traditional Chinese exercise in prediabetes: effects on glycaemic and lipid metabolism - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Most existing studies have primarily focused on the effects of Traditional Chinese Exercises (TCEs) on glycemic control in individuals with prediabetes, while specific recommendations for managing dyslipidemia in this population remain insufficient.

Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy of TCEs in improving glycemic and lipid profiles in individuals with prediabetes and to explore the potential impact of exercise dose on these metabolic parameters.
