Abstract
![CDATA[Several studies have demonstrated that mitochondrial activity and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle (SM) of people with T2DM declines. Outcomes with exercise trials on people with type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance show that exercise has the ability to increase both lipid oxidation and mitochondrial oxidative capacity of the SM. A randomised trial of 16 weeks progressive resistance training (PRT) or aerobic exercise (AER) training in a cohort of Polynesian New Zealanders with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and morbid obesity (n=18; BMI 43.8 ± 9.5 kg/m2; mean waist circumference 128.7 ± 18.7 cm) was performed.]]
