Abstract :
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disease that is brought about by either insufficient production of insulin or the inability of the body to respond to the insulin formed within the system. The prevalence of T2D is increasing worldwide in the 21st century. The main reason for the increase is the changes in lifestyle, specifically doing less exercise and consuming excessive calories. Physical activity is an important component of T2D treatment plan, because it improves glycemic control and reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Just as the main reason for the increased prevalence of T2D is lifestyle changes, the cornerstones of treatment must also incorporate lifestyle changes to control and reduce the complications of T2D. Physical activity has been recommended as one of the alternatives. This review focuses on the association between physical activity [Aerobic training (AT), Resistance training (RT) and Concurrent training (CT)] and metabolic syndrome.
