Exercise as a Drug: The Pharmacological Benefits of Muscular Endurance Training for Type II Diabetes
Abstract
In the United States, between 34 and 36 million people suffer from type II diabetes. That’s a little more than 1 in 10 Americans. Although type II diabetes typically develops in people 45 or older, cases are appearing more frequently in younger populations. But what if I told you that there was a drug that could help reverse this trend? No, I’m not talking about metformin or Ozempic. I’m talking about exercise – more specifically, muscular endurance training.
