TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effects of combined aerobic and resistance training compared with either type of exercise alone on hemoglobin A1c values in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the simultaneous measurement and interpretation of waist circumference and fasting TG could be used as inexpensive screening tools to identify men characterized by the atherogenic metabolic triad and at high risk for CAD.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the amount of visceral AT and the ratio of abdominal to femoral AT measured by CT are important correlates of the alterations in carbohydrate and lipoprotein metabolism observed in obese men, and suggest that, in men, a high accumulation of femoral fat may be protective against the adverse effects of obesity, particularly abdominal obesity, on plasma lipop protein levels.

TL;DR: Comparison of body fatness, of abdominal fat accumulation, and of the features of the insulin resistance syndrome across quintiles of CRP revealed major differences in bodyfatness and in indices of abdominal AT accumulation between the lowest and the highest CRP quintiles, whereas no significant differences were found for variables of the plasma lipoprotein-lipid profile.

TL;DR: This randomized, controlled trial showed better reduction in hemoglobin A1c values in patients who followed a combined aerobic exercise and resistance training program 3 times weekly than in patientsWho followed a program of either exercise type alone, on glycemic control and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
