Abstract

Introduction: Resistance Training (RT) can be beneficial for the blood variables, metabolism and body composition in diabetics. Objective: To verify the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training on blood responses, body composition and basal metabolic rate and associations. Methods: Thirty-four adults with type II diabetes (T2D) were analysed. The body compositions and blood samples (leptin, glucose and insulin) were tested before and after training period. Results: Significant reductions were observed in leptin levels (LEP), body mass, body mass index, fat percentage and body fat and the correlation between leptin vs. BMI; fat percentage vs. body fat before and after 12 weeks of training period and with insulin only after training period. The basal metabolic rate had correlation with a BMI; fat percentage; body fat and lean body mass before and after training. Conclusion: A program of 12 weeks of RT was effective in improving the health of T2D patients.
