Physical Activity Advice Only or Structured Exercise Training and Association With HbA1c Levels in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Abstract: CRD summary This well-conducted review concluded that structured exercise training was associated with improved glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Structured exercise training was more effective than physical activity advice combined with dietary advice. Whilst the authors' conclusions reflected the evidence presented, the significant variation between included trials plus low trial quality reduce the reliability of the conclusions.
