- Healthy first-degree relatives with heredity of type 2 diabetes (FH+) are known to have metabolic inflexibility compared with subjects without heredity for diabetes (FH-). In this study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that FH+ individuals have an impaired response to exercise compared with FH-. Sixteen FH+ and 19 FH- insulin-sensitive men similar in age, peak oxygen consumption ((V) over dot(O2 peak)), and body mass index completed an exercise intervention with heart rate monitored during exercise for 7 mo. Before and after the exercise intervention, the participants underwent a physical examination and tests for glucose tolerance and exercise capacity, and muscle biopsies were taken for expression analysis. The participants attended, on average, 39 training sessions during the intervention and spent 18.8 MJ on exercise. (V) over dot(O2 peak)/kg increased by 14%, and the participants lost 1.2 kg of weight and 3 cm waist circumference. Given that the FH- group expended 61% more energy during the intervention, we used regression analysis to analyze the response in the FH+ and FH- groups separately. Exercise volume had a significant effect on (V) over dot(O2 peak), weight, and waist circumference in the FH- group, but not in the FH+ group. After exercise, expression of genes involved in metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and cellular respiration increased more in the FH- compared with the FH+ group. This suggests that healthy, insulin-sensitive FH+ and FH- participants with similar age, (V) over dot(O2 peak), and body mass index may respond differently to an exercise intervention. The FH+ background might limit muscle adaptation to exercise, which may contribute to the increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in FH+ individuals.

- AIMS: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of exercise on cardio-respiratory fitness and insulin sensitivity in sedentary, overweight Arabian and Swedish women with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Eighteen Arabian and 14 Swedish women participated in a supervised 6-month resistance training and aerobic program of moderate intensity. Insulin sensitivity and VO(2max) were measured at entry to the study and after 3 and 6 months training. RESULTS: After 6 months exercise, insulin sensitivity (M-value) increased (2.7+/-1.4mgkg(-1)min(-1) vs. 3.4+/-2mgkg(-1)min(-1), p<0.05) in all patients and accounted for by an increase in non-oxidative glucose metabolism (0.3+/-1.1mgkg(-1)min(-1) vs. 1.5+/-1.5mgkg(-1)min(-1), p<0.005) with no significant difference between the ethnic groups. Notably, significant improvement in HbA1c was only seen in the Swedish patients who achieved greater exercise intensity (73.3+/-4.8% vs. 63.3+/-5.2% of maximum heart rate, p<0.005). No changes were observed regarding VO(2max) or lipid profile in either group. CONCLUSIONS: Although a 6-month exercise intervention of moderate intensity in Arabian and Swedish patients with type 2 diabetes can improve insulin sensitivity it is hampered by the metabolic inflexibility of switching between oxidation of glucose or fat.

- We compared, head-to-head, the old generation Actigraph model 7164 with the new generation Actigraph GT1M accelerometer. A total of 15 randomly selected teenagers (eight girls and seven boys) were investigated. They performed a treadmill test wearing the two kinds of accelerometers around the waist simultaneously. The treadmill test consisted of three different levels of speed 4, 6 and 8 km h(-1) for four consecutive minutes. Accelerometer counts per 1 sec epoch for the Actigraph GT1M versus the Actigraph 7164 were at 4 km h(-1) 21·6 ± 12·9 versus 26·5 ± 11·5 counts, at 6 km h(-1) 56·0 ± 23·2 versus 62·9 ± 25·6 counts and at 8 km h(-1) 142·6 ± 37·2 versus 156·4 ± 34·9 counts (P<0·01 for all levels of speed). Data from the old generation Actigraph 7164 and the new generation Actigraph GT1M accelerometers differ, where the Actigraph GT1M generates 10-23% lower values. Correction equation for Actigraph GT1M was Actigraph 7164 = 5·2484 + Actigraph GT1M counts × 1·0448. These results need to be taken into consideration when using these devices.

- The primary aim of this study was to compare the maximal oxygen uptake as evaluated from a submaximal exercise test (EVO(2peak)) to direct measurements of VO(2peak) during a maximal exercise test as means of monitoring the aerobic endurance capacity in women with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Twenty-seven women with T2D participated in the study. The program consisted of combined group training 1 h twice a week during 12 weeks and walks 1 h per week. EVO(2 max) was estimated using a submaximal exercise test on a bicycle ergometer ad modumAstrand. VO(2peak) and maximal work rate were measured using an incremental maximal exercise test on an electrically braked bicycle ergometer at baseline and after 6 and 12 weeks. EVO(2peak)was higher than VO(2peak)at baseline and significantly higher at 12 weeks (EVO(2peak)1.92 +/- 0.54 l min(-1), VO(2peak) 1.41 +/- 0.36, P < 0.005). Maximal work rate increased significantly after 12 weeks (12 +/- 15, P < 0.005) compared to baseline. The main finding of this study was that EVO(2peak) assessed using a submaximal exercise test, systematically overestimated VO(2peak). The combined group training increased maximal work rate but not VO(2peak). This is likely to reflect peripheral adaptation to exercise and/or improved mechanical efficiency.

- BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of insulin sensitivity and muscle fibre composition to exercise capacity in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT). METHODS: Thirty-nine male patients with T2D, 44 male subjects with IGT and 58 subjects with NGT matched for age, weight and body mass index (BMI) participated in the study. Insulin sensitivity was obtained with hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, muscle fibre distribution with a biopsy and exercise capacity from an incremental exercise test. Anthropometric measurements as height, weight, waist and hip circumference were performed. RESULTS: There were small differences between groups in waist hip ratio (WHR) with significance attained between NGT and T2D. There was a progressive reduction in exercise capacity, both expressed as VO(2peak) and work rate from subjects with NGT to IGT to T2D. Multiple regression analysis with VO(2peak) as dependent variable showed insulin sensitivity to be the most important factor followed by Type I fibres. WHR and capillary density also influenced the variance of VO(2peak). CONCLUSION: Exercise capacity is independently related to insulin sensitivity, muscle fibre composition and WHR in subjects with NGT, IGT and T2D who are matched for age and BMI.

- BackgroundPower output and force development during exercise are thought to be important indices of performance in elite athletes. The aim of this preliminary study was to determine the forces applied at the footrest during ergometric kayaking in individual kayakers at different competitive levels.MethodsThree elite female kayakers participated voluntarily in the study. Oxygen consumption (VO2) and mean power were measured during paddling at three different work levels (15 W below onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA), at OBLA, 15 W above OBLA and all-out paddling) on a modified kayak ergometer. External force sensors were attached to the wires on right and left side connecting the paddle to the flywheel of the kayak ergometer. Individual footrests were built to enable measurements of pushing and pulling forces and to distinguish between the left and right foot.ResultThe relative differences between the three athletes were similar for power, VO2peak and forces at the paddle. There were, however, differences in the forces applied at the footrest, where the most accomplished paddler generated forces 3 to 26 times as high as the least accomplished paddler.ConclusionThe relative differences between the three athletes were similar for power, VO2 and forces at the paddle. There were, however, dramatic differences in the forces applied at the footrest.

- BACKGROUND: Clinical guidelines seldom provide in depth information about the most suitable type and intensity of exercise to obtain optimal benefit in different subgroups of T2D individuals. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of group exercise training on exercise capacity, insulin sensitivity and HbA1c in women with diabetes. METHODS: Twenty-two women with T2D participated in a supervised group exercise program for six months. The program combined endurance and resistance exercise. The duration and intensity of exercise for each subject was recorded. The volume of exercise was calculated as the product of exercise duration and intensity. Exercise capacity, insulin sensitivity and HbA1c were measured at baseline and after six months of training. The subjects were dichotomized with respect to training volume in a high training volume group and a low training volume group. RESULTS: Exercise capacity did not change significantly during the training period. Insulin sensitivity increased significantly and HbA1c decreased significantly from baseline in the high volume group but not in the low volume group. The increase in insulin sensitivity was explained with the intensity of exercise by 30%. The reduction in HbA1c was explained with exercise by 25%. CONCLUSION: Improvement in insulin sensitivity after six months combined supervised group training in female diabetic subjects is related to exercise intensity, whereas the reduction in HbA1c is related mainly to training volume. Metabolic effects of training may be seen in the absence of improved exercise capacity.

Relation between cycling exercise capacity, fiber-type composition, and lower extremity muscle strength and muscle endurance. J Strength Cond Res 25(1): 16-22, 2011-The aim of the study was to determine the relation between peak oxygen uptake (&OV0312;o2peak), peak work rate (WRpeak), fiber-type composition, and lower extremity strength and endurance during a maximal incremental cycle test. Thirty-nine healthy sedentary men, aged 30-46, participated in the study. Subjects performed a maximal incremental cycle test and isokinetic knee extension (KE) and flexion (KF) strength and endurance tests at velocities of 60 and 180°·s. Muscle biopsies were taken from m. vastus lateralis and analyzed for fiber-type composition. A significant correlation existed between KE strength and &OV0312;o2peak and WRpeak. Also, KF endurance correlated significantly to &OV0312;o2peak and WRpeak. The KE endurance correlated significantly to WRpeak (rp = 0.32, p < 0.05) and almost significantly to &OV0312;o2peak (rp = 0.28, p = 0.06). Stepwise multiple regression analyses showed that KE strength, KF endurance, and the percentage of type I fibers could explain up to 40% of the variation in &OV0312;o2peak and WRpeak. The performance of sedentary subjects in a maximal incremental cycle test is highly affected by knee muscle strength and endurance. Fiber-type composition also contributes but to a smaller extent.
