From: Effect of Eccentric Exercise on Metabolic Health in Diabetes and Obesity
Effects of eccentric training on patients with type 2 diabetes or obesity. Eccentric contraction-based physical activity is an effective intervention to improve global health and provide additional and/or alternative protection against T2DM and obesity as shown by improved physiological and blood test parameters. Altered myokine production may play a role in the background mechanism. BMI: body mass index, HOMA-IR: homeostasis model assessment—insulin resistance, IL-6, IL-15: interleukin 6 and 15, respectively, se Chol: serum cholesterol, se HDL: serum high-density lipoprotein, se LDL: serum low-density lipoprotein, and se TG: serum triacylglycerol
