Blood sugar
control declines with age and is influenced by genetics, diet, and physical
activity. Muscle accounts for approximately
42% of total body mass, so it is an important issue for regulating blood
sugar. A study from Arizona State
University focused on the effects of weight training intensity and volume on
blood sugar control in adult men and women (average age about 30) with slightly
elevated resting blood sugar levels (100-125 m/dL). High
intensity weight training controlled blood sugar better than low -intensity
workouts. Resting blood sugar was lower
without affecting blood insulin, which showed that weight training is an
important and effective way to help control blood sugar. |
