Abstract
The South Pacific Island Resist diabetes with Intense Training (SPIRIT) study is the first randomised trial of clinical exercise training in a cohort of Polynesian New Zealanders with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and grade 3 obesity (n=18; BMI 43.8 ± 9.5 kg/m2; mean waist circumference 128.7 ± 18.7 cm). Several studies have demonstrated that mitochondrial activity and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle of people with T2DM decreases and the oxidative capacity of the tissue declines. We propose that the metabolic adaptation in the SPIRIT study cohort is either delayed or overwhelmed by the effect of increased fat mass.
