Effect of exercise training modality on C-reactive protein in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Aerobic exercise training has been shown to improve CRP; however, there are limited data evaluating the effect of other exercise training modalities (aerobic, resistance, or combination training) in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

Participants (n = 204) were randomized to an aerobic exercise (aerobic), resistance exercise (resistance), or a combination of both (combination) for 9 months. CRP was evaluated at baseline and at follow-up.

Results

Baseline CRP was correlated with fat mass, waist circumference, body mass index, and VO(2peak) ̇(P < 0.05). CRP was not reduced after aerobic (0.16 mg·L(-1), 95% confidence interval (CI) = -1
