SUMMARY
Physical activity, including appropriate endurance and resistance training, is a major therapeutic modality for type 2 diabetes Unfortunately, too often physical activity is an underutilized therapy Favorable changes in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity usually deteriorate within 72 h of the last exercise session; consequently, regular physical activity is imperative to sustain glucose-lowering effects and improved insulin sensitivity Individuals with type 2 diabetes should strive to achieve a minimum cumulative total of 1000 kcal wk 1 from physical activities Those with type 2 diabetes generally have a lower level of fitness VO2max than nondiabetic individuals, and therefore exercise intensity should be at a comfortable level RPE 10 12 in the initial periods of training and should progress cautiously as tolerance for activity improves Resistance training has the potential to improve muscle
strength and endurance, enhance flexibility and body composition, decrease risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and result in improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity Modifications to exercise type and/or intensity may be necessary for those who have complications of diabetes Individuals with type 2 diabetes may develop autonomic neuropathy, which affects the heart rate response to exercise, and as a result, ratings of perceived exertion rather than heart rate may need to be used for moderating intensity of physical activity Although walking may be the most convenient low-impact mode, some persons, because of peripheral neuropathy and/or foot problems, may need to do non-weightbearing activities Outcome expectations may contribute significantly to motivation to begin and maintain an exercise program Interventions designed to encourage adoption of an exercise regimen must be responsive to the individuals current stage of readiness and focus efforts on moving the individual through the various stages of change

INTRODUCTION
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States with type 2 diabetes accounting for 90 95 of all diabetic cases
77 Based on national data, there are about 103 million diagnosed cases of diabetes in the United States with an estimated 54 million additional undiagnosed cases in the general population 40 Unfortunately, the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is often delayed for years after the onset of the disease A large portion of the burden of the disease falls upon the minority populations of the US, demonstrated by the fact that the prevalence rates of diabetes are higher among Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian and Pacific Island Americans when compared with nonHispanic whites 99 The long-term complications associ1345

ated with type 2 diabetes are both microvascular and macrovascular in nature and include the following: retinopathy, peripheral and autonomic neuropathy, nephropathy, peripheral vascular disease, atherosclerotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, and susceptibility to infections and periodontal disease for an extensive description of the complications associated with diabetes, the reader is referred to Diabetes in America, 1995; 80,81 The diagnosis and classification of diabetes have been revised by the Expert Committee on
the Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus 59 The new classification system emphasizes etiology and pathogenesis rather than modalities of treatment Diabetes is divided into four major categories depending on etiology: type 1, type 2, gestational, and other specific types In type 1 diabetes, the final common pathway is beta cell destruction by autoimmune processes, which leads to insulin deficiency Type 2 diabetes is characterized by varying degrees of insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency Gestational diabetes is defined as any degree of glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy The final category includes diabetes due to specific genetic defects, medications, and other diseases 59 Guidelines for diagnosing diabetes have also been revised and are much simpler than the previous scheme The new diagnostic criteria reflect more closely the prevalence of microvascular complications specific for diabetes One of three criteria must be met for the diagnosis of diabetes: 1 a fasting plasma glucose 126 mg dL 1; 2 symptoms of diabetes such as polyuria, polydipsia and unexplained weight loss plus a casual plasma glucose of 200 mg dL 1 or more;
and 3 2-h plasma glucose 200 mg dL 1 during an oral glucose tolerance test using 75 g of glucose If there is no acute metabolic decompensation, these criteria should be confirmed on a different day 59 Both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the etiology of type 2 diabetes There is a strong genetic predisposition for this type of diabetes although the exact genetic defects are not currently well defined 59 Among the risk markers for the disease are older age, obesity, minority ethnicity, family history, and lower socioeconomic status 81 Along with overall obesity, fat distribution specifically, intra-abdominal fat distribution predicts type 2 diabetes 22,23,51,72,78,101,132,138,169,177 Lifestyle factors that are implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes are physical inactivity and more inconsis-

tently, diet, and parity 169 Type 2 diabetes is a dynamic disease in which individuals often become more insulin deficient with time The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes appears to involve defects in both insulin action insulin resistance and secretion insulin deficiency 149 Insulin resistance is manifested by decreased insulin-mediated storage of glucose as
glycogen in the liver and muscle At the cellular level muscle glucose transporters GLUT 4 may not be normally translocated from cytoplasm to plasma membrane although GLUT 4 protein and mRNA are normal 47,105 Insulin receptor substrate IRS phosphorylation is an important intermediary step in this process and may play a central role 91 IRS-1 is a cytoplasmic protein with multiple phosphorylation sites After stimulation by insulin, it serves as a docking protein that facilitates phosphorylation of other intracellular proteins such as phosphatidylinositol kinase PI 3-kinase PI 3-kinase may be an important effector in the pathway by which GLUT 4 transporters are inserted into the plasma membrane Abnormalities in IRS-1 91 or other insulin receptor substrates have been postulated to be involved in insulin resistance A separate defect in glycogen synthesis may also exist 170 and be found in nondiabetic relatives of persons with type 2 diabetes 188 These defects in insulin action may be either genetic or acquired through such factors as abdominal obesity Chronic hyperglycemia and increased free fatty acid FFA levels may also contribute to acquired insulin resistance 147 Each of these may
cause decreased muscle glucose transport and phosphorylation and are reversible 11 Insulin secretion is abnormal in type 2 diabetes with the first phase of insulin release generally being absent 145 Hyperglycemia alone may further inhibit insulin secretion This concept has been termed glucose toxicity 213 Elevated products of fat metabolism may also impair beta cell function The goal of treatment in type 2 diabetes is to achieve and maintain near-normal blood glucose levels and optimal lipid levels, in order to prevent or delay the microvascular, macrovascular, and neural complications 52 Because exercise improves insulin sensitivity diminishes resistance, it is a logical treatment modality Exercise also modifies lipid abnormalities and hypertension It, along with medical nutrition therapy, is an important component of obesity management Use of oral antidiabetic agents and/or insulin may also be required to achieve normal glucose levels These oral medications and insulin are described in reference 2 The aim of this position stand is to provide appropriate background and recommendations for safe and effective participation in physical activity by those with type 2 diabetes
Additionally, physical activity is an underutilized mode of therapy for type 2 diabetes, often due to lack of understanding This position stand provides a breadth and depth of information that should facilitate understanding and use of exercise in the management of type 2 diabetes For information about a wider range of specific sports and diabetes, the reader is referred to the Health Professionals Guide to Diabetes and Exercise 6 1346

Acute Effects of Exercise/Physical Activity Physical activity is one of the principal therapies to acutely lower blood glucose in type 2 diabetes due to its synergistic action with insulin in insulin-sensitive tissues Abnormal insulin secretion and peripheral insulin resistance 38 are primary factors that influence the acute effects of physical activity on metabolic responses in those with type 2 diabetes In addition, oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues in type 2 diabetic individuals may be impaired during acute bouts of graded exercise 82,102, as the rate of oxygen consumption during submaximal and maximal work loads is significantly lower than age- and activity-matched persons without
diabetes 94,151 Hence, functional capacity of those with type 2 diabetes is frequently lower than agematched nondiabetic counterparts 102,161,164 Acute bouts of physical activity can favorably change abnormal blood glucose and insulin resistance 113 Glucose levels Most obese, type 2 diabetic individuals exhibit decreases in blood glucose after mild-to-moderate exercise 85,107,131,186 The magnitude of decrease in blood glucose is related to the duration and intensity of physical activity 138 and is further modified by preexercise glucose level and novelty of the activity Blood glucose reduction during physical activity is attributed to an attenuation of hepatic glucose production, whereas muscle glucose utilization increases normally 29,102,131 Reduced hepatic glucose production may include a negative feedback mechanism associated with sustained insulin levels during exercise and elevated glucose levels before activity Mild-to-moderate intensity exercise lowers blood glucose, and this effect is sustained into the postexercise period 85,131 Thus, mild-to-moderate intensity exercise is recommended to facilitate glucose reductions in those with type 2 diabetes Blood glucose response to
moderate exercise in lean, type 2 diabetic individuals is highly variable 87 and is not as predictable as in their obese counterparts Such variability during exercise is related to impaired feedback control of hepatic glucose regulation and may be due to a defective nonpancreatic glucoregulatory mechanism During short-term, high-intensity exercise, blood glucose frequently increases in obese, type 2 diabetic individuals who have hyperinsulinemia and remains elevated for about 1 h postexercise due to counter-regulatory hormone increase 102 Insulin resistance Insulin resistance is a frequent abnormality in type 2 diabetes 8,10 Insulin resistance reduces insulin-mediated glucose uptake in those with early stage type 2 diabetes by 35 40 of the level of glucose uptake in individuals who do not have diabetes 38,46 Insulin-mediated glucose uptake occurs primarily in skeletal muscle and is directly related to the amount of muscle mass, and inversely associated with fat mass 212 Some studies 35,38,48, but not all 154, show that exercise increases peripheral and splanchnic insulin sensitivity in those with type 2 diabetes This increased sensitivity persists from 12 up to 24 h postexercise
Moreover, the insulin dose-response

curve is not fully normalized by an acute bout of activity 35 There is no consensus regarding the effects of high intensity exercise on insulin sensitivity in persons with type 2 diabetes, as some 33 have found improved insulin sensitivity regardless of exercise intensity, whereas others 154 have shown insulin resistance for up to 60 min after highintensity work Such disparate findings of exercise intensity on insulin sensitivity can be partly explained by: 1 the different methods of assessing insulin sensitivity, including oral glucose challenge or insulin clamp technique; 2 the intensity of exercise administered; and/or 3 the heterogeneity of those with type 2 diabetes and their respective responses to acute exercise The effect of an acute bout of exercise on insulin action is lost within a few days 79,164, and the benefit of a single bout of physical activity is short-lived for persons with type 2 diabetes Thus, regular activity performed at a low-to-moderate intensity is recommended to lessen insulin resistance in type 2 diabetic individuals Most studies examining the effects of acute exercise on insulin sensitivity and
glucose disposal in type 2 diabetes have included relatively small sample sizes and have not adequately distinguished the impact of physical activity among therapies, including medical nutrition therapy alone, oral antidiabetic medications, and/or insulin Further research is needed regarding exercise-related changes in insulin sensitivity in the heterogeneous make-up of type 2 diabetes to more clearly understand the acute impact of physical activity on insulin resistance Chronic Effects of Exercise/Physical Activity Genetic factors associated with insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance may result in low initial fitness and a reduced capacity to adapt to physical training 21,43,53 There is evidence of a reduced functional capacity in healthy individuals at high risk for development of type 2 diabetes even before the appearance of glucose intolerance 136 It is well established that patients with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes have low VO2max values when compared with healthy age-matched controls 58,94,151 Specific pathogenic mechanisms such as hyperglycemia, low capillary density, alterations in oxygen delivery, increased blood viscosity, or presence of vascular and
neuropathic complications may also contribute to the decreased VO2max Regular physical activity promotes beneficial physiological changes in those with type 2 diabetes 84,97,98, 107,113,135,163,187,195,196,198,200,215, including lower resting and submaximal heart rate; increased stroke volume and cardiac output; enhanced oxygen extraction; and lower resting and exercise blood pressure 27,41,61,65,106,113,135 Those with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk for several cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension and dyslipidemia 7,10,58,93,158,167 Thus, therapy to control glucose levels and reduce long-term complications should focus on behavioral interventions that include a physically active lifestyle
EXERCISE AND TYPE 2 DIABETES

Hypertension Essential hypertension is a common cardiovascular risk factor occurring in over 60 of persons with type 2 diabetes 10 The efficacy of physical activity to favorably alter blood pressure is well-documented in those without diabetes 5,187 and is commonly stated as an outcome of physical activity participation in those with type 2 diabetes Some studies 110,165, but not all 171, have observed that regular physical activity lowers blood
pressure in persons with type 2 diabetes To date, there is a paucity of studies specifically investigating the effect of physical activity on lowering blood pressure in persons with type 2 diabetes Further research to more clearly identify blood pressure response to exercise in those with type 2 diabetes is needed Metabolic control: glucose control and insulin resistance Aerobic power is inversely related to modest, favorable changes in glycosylated hemoglobin eg, HbA1 or HbA1c and/or glucose tolerance 29,82,110,112,152,157,161,162,186, 190 In these studies, duration of physical training ranged from 6 wk to 12 months, and improved glucose tolerance was shown in early stage type 2 diabetes with as little as seven consecutive days of training 154 Some studies 131,171,192 have shown that mild-to-moderate physical training ranging from 12 wk up to 2 yr did not improve glucose control in type 2 diabetic subjects Also, older diabetic individuals eg, over 55 yr may not evince the same exercise-induced blood glucose changes as usually occur in younger counterparts 215 Favorable changes in glucose tolerance usually deteriorate within 72 h of the last exercise bout in those with type 2
diabetes 164 and are a reflection of the last individual exercise bout, rather than training per se 107,108,154 Hence, regular physical activity is recommended for persons with type 2 diabetes to sustain glucose-lowering effects A strong inverse relationship has been shown to exist between physical fitness and mortality due to all causes 26,27 Furthermore, major reductions in all-cause death rates are apparent with only modest increases in VO2max, especially for those at the lowest levels of fitness This finding is especially important in type 2 diabetes as VO2max values of 6 METs metabolic equivalent and less are common in these patients Kohl et al 106 demonstrated a similar inverse relationship between fitness and mortality across levels of glycemic control Although risk of death increases with less-favorable glycemic status, the adverse impact of hyperglycemia on mortality appears to be reduced with increased fitness In some people with type 2 diabetes, insulin-mediated glucose disposal is improved after a period of physical training 29,84,108,112,152,186 After physical training, insulin sensitivity of both skeletal muscle and adipose tissue can improve with or without a
change in body composition 84,108,124,189 This effect is transient and, as observed in glucose tolerance, deteriorates within 72 h 164 Consequently, regular physical activity is imperative for those with type 2 diabetes to sustain improved insulin sensitivity Lipids and lipoproteins Increased aerobic power of people with type 2 diabetes is related to a less atherogenic lipid profile, which may lessen the accelerated rate of athMedicine Science in Sports Exercise

erosclerosis and related mortality rate 106 Some studies found that after physical training, those with type 2 diabetes showed desirable changes in triglycerides 18,19,154, 155,156,157,205, total cholesterol 18,19,154,157,192, and high-density lipoprotein HDL-cholesterol:total cholesterol ratio 19,192, whereas others studies have found no change 114,171 A single study found that physical training significantly increased HDL-cholesterol and lowered low-density lipoprotein LDL-cholesterol in exercising versus control type 2 diabetic subjects 156 Also, some research 18,19,206 suggests that favorable triglyceride and cholesterol reduction in persons with type 2 diabetes is best achieved through weight loss, even though
training-induced changes in blood lipids are independent of body weight 215 Intensity, duration, and frequency of exercise training may influence lipid and lipoprotein changes The inclusion of nutrition advice, counseling, or behavioral intervention to aid in lowering dietary saturated fat and body weight can also influence the magnitude of lipid changes in those with type 2 diabetes participating in physical training Clearly, more research that examines nutrition therapy and exerciseinduced lipid alterations in type 2 diabetes is needed Weight loss/maintenance Exercise and medical nutrition therapy are essential for the initial treatment of type 2 diabetes and, when drug therapy is needed, for maintaining efficacy of drug therapy Moderate weight loss 10 15 or 4591 kg can assist in achieving metabolic goals 74,202,209 Nutrition therapy and regular exercise combined are more effective than either alone in achieving moderate weight reduction and thereby improving metabolic control 153,176,205,206 Weight loss leads to a decrease in insulin resistance and may be most beneficial early in the progression of type 2 diabetes when insulin secretion is still adequate Exercise also results
in preferential mobilization of upper body fat 134 Visceral adipose tissue correlates significantly with hyperinsulinemia and is negatively associated with insulin sensitivity 25 Visceral fat represents a significant source of FFAs which may be oxidized in preference to glucose, resulting in hyperglycemia 140 Loss of visceral fat may be an important benefit of exercise as reduction of abdominal obesity leads to significant improvement in metabolic indices 213 Furthermore, abdominal obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease 24 and the development of type 2 diabetes 113 Persons with type 2 diabetes, however, are often not able to exercise at a level that is required for significant weight loss to occur and body weight and body fat losses with exercise alone are often reported to be small To improve body weight and body composition, regular exercise at an intensity of about 50 VO2max, five times or more per week, for about 1 h per session sustained for years would appear to be necessary 34 Therefore, it is important for health professionals to guard against unrealistic expectations of quick or easy weight loss in individuals beginning an exercise program 1348

Although the mechanism is still unclear, exercise seems to be effective in promoting long-term weight loss and has consistently been one of the strongest predictors of longterm weight control 116 Exercise is, therefore, a valuable adjunct measure along with food changes in the long-term management of weight Furthermore, individuals who exercise may adhere better to nutritional advice Physical activity may improve mood and self-esteem and as a result contribute to better control of food intake 164 Psychological issues The impact of diabetes on lifestyle and health, and the psychosocial adjustments to diabetes required by those with type 2 diabetes in later life may have important consequences on perceived stress, glucose control, and psychological health 73,117,182 Diabetic complications are more prevalent in those with long-standing type 2 diabetes 8 and require increased psychosocial adjustments 210 Diabetic complications contribute to perceived stress of disease management 185 and affective disorders, especially depression 66 Thus, therapy for those with type 2 diabetes should include social or family support systems that assist
in facilitating adherence to a recommended treatment plan There are presumed physiological and psychological benefits of regular exercise in those without diabetes; reduced stress response to psychosocial stimuli 96, lessened sympathetic nervous system activation to cognitive stress 174, favorable reductions in depression 191, heightened selfesteem 173, and reduced emotional perturbations associated with lifes stressful events 116,127 Such benefits in type 2 diabetes have received little attention, yet appear to have importance relative to augmenting perceived health and sense of self, and lessening the negative impact of stress and depression on disease management Given that diabetes management is emotionally stressful, particularly later in life for those with type 2 diabetes, and that this stress can influence glycemic control 116, regular physical activity can play a role in reducing stress, enhancing psychological well-being, and augmenting the quality of life for people with type 2 diabetes 191 Few studies have examined the effect of regular physical activity on various psychosocial, psychological, and stress-related outcomes in type 2 diabetes The favorable changes
associated with regular exercise in those without diabetes are presumed to occur in those with type 2 diabetes; however, future research is necessary to elucidate the efficacy of physical activity to evince such favorable psychological alterations

The Role of Physical Activity in the Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Studies reviewed above examine the acute and chronic effects of physical activity on carbohydrate metabolism and glucose tolerance and provide the physiological reasons why a relationship between physical activity and glucose tolerance is biologically plausible Through the years, from early observations to randomized clinical trials, the existence of a potential relationship between physical activity
http://wwwmsseorg

and type 2 diabetes has also been supported by the epidemiology literature Relationships between physical activity and type 2 diabetes were suggested early by the fact that societies which had abandoned traditional lifestyles which typically had included large amounts of habitual physical activity had experienced major increases in type 2 diabetes 204 Indirect evidence of this phenomenon was also provided by the observation that groups of subjects who
migrated to a more modern environment had more diabetes than their ethnic counterparts who remained in their native land 75,95,148 and that rural dwellers had a lower prevalence of diabetes than their urban counterparts 45,100,216,217 In these studies, differences in physical activity were suggested as partial explanations for the differences in diabetes prevalence Cross-sectional and retrospective epidemiological studies have provided more direct evidence that physical inactivity is significantly associated with glucose intolerance within populations Groups of subjects with type 2 diabetes were found to be less active currently 50,100,109,183,184 and reported less physical activity over their lifetime 109 than individuals without diabetes In addition, cross-sectional studies that have examined the relationship between physical activity and glucose intolerance in individuals without type 2 diabetes generally showed that blood glucose values after an oral glucose tolerance test 39,51,109,115,141, 168,199, as well as insulin values 51,60,115,128,150,199, were significantly higher in the less active compared to the more active individuals More recently, the fact that a sedentary
lifestyle may play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes has been demonstrated in prospective studies of male college alumni 80, female college alumni 64, registered nurses 120, male physicians 119, and middleaged British men from the general population 142 and perhaps in metabolically obese, normal-weight individuals those with hyperinsulinemia, insulin-resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, and premature coronary heart disease who are not obese 159 Similar to measures of physical activity, poor physical fitness, as determined by maximal oxygen uptake or as estimated by vital capacity, also appears to play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes 54,55 In addition, support that physical fitness may provide some protection against mortality in men at all levels of glucose tolerance from those with normal blood glucose to those with type 2 diabetes was demonstrated in middle-aged men 106 Physical activity was a major part of the intervention strategy of a feasibility trial of diabetes prevention in 47 49 yr old men from Malmo, Sweden Of those with impaired glucose intolerance at baseline, at least twice as many of those who did not take part in the treatment program had
developed diabetes at the 5-yr follow-up compared with those that participated 55 A major limitation to this study was that participants were not randomly assigned to the intervention treatment groups The most promising of the studies, however, was a 6-yr clinical trial of diabetes prevention in Da Qing, China 139 At the beginning of the study, 577 individuals with impaired
EXERCISE AND TYPE 2 DIABETES

glucose tolerance were identified from a city-wide health screening and randomized by clinic into one of four groups: exercise only, diet only, diet plus exercise, and a control group Individuals assigned to the exercise group were encouraged to increase their daily leisure physical activity by one unit, which in most cases was comparable to a 20-min brisk walk daily The cumulative incidence of diabetes at 6 yr was significantly lower in the exercise intervention groups compared with the control group exercise 41, exercise plus diet 46, diet 44, control 68 and remained significant even after adjusting for baseline differences in body mass index and fasting glucose 139 A randomized, multicenter clinical trial of type 2 diabetes prevention that incorporates physical activity as one of
the possible treatments is currently underway in the United States 49 In this clinical trial, physical activity is combined with dietary modification to comprise the lifestyle intervention Recommended Physical Activity Program for People with Type 2 Diabetes Physical activity programs for those with type 2 diabetes without significant complications or limitations should include appropriate endurance and resistance exercise for developing and maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and muscular strength and endurance In order to facilitate weight management and achieve health-related benefits, it is strongly recommended that individuals with type 2 diabetes expend a minimum cumulative total of 1000 kcal wk 1 27,61 in aerobic activity The addition of a well-rounded resistance training program should be effective in improving muscular strength and endurance as well as in improving body composition by increasing or maintaining fat-free weight Appropriate frequency, intensity, duration, and modes of physical activity should be identified for persons with type 2 diabetes Frequency Those with type 2 diabetes should engage in at least three nonconsecutive days and up to
five physical activity sessions each week to improve cardiorespiratory endurance and achieve desirable caloric expenditure 4 Recently, the US Surgeon General 187 recommended that physical activity should be performed most, if not all days of the week, to effect favorable health-related benefits, such as weight loss, blood pressure reduction, and favorable lipid and lipoprotein changes Given that the acute effect of a single exercise bout on blood glucose levels is less than 72 h 90,196, those with type 2 diabetes must participate in regular physical activity to lower blood glucose Those with type 2 diabetes taking insulin may prefer to participate in daily physical activity, in order to lessen the difficulty of balancing caloric needs with insulin dosage Moreover, obese diabetic individuals may need to participate in daily physical activity to maximize caloric expenditure for effective weight management 4 Intensity For the majority of persons with type 2 diabetes, low-to-moderate intensity physical activity of 40 70 VO2max is recommended to achieve cardiorespiratory

and metabolic improvements Favorable metabolic changes eg, blood
glucose reduction, and increased insulin sensitivity and metabolic clearance rate usually occur after regular physical activity performed at a low-to-moderate intensity 31,140,206,211, whereas others 29,110,164 have shown favorable metabolic changes with higher-intensity exercise eg, 70 90 of VO2max as well Although a low intensity level is adequate to facilitate metabolic changes 202, it may not meet the recommended minimum thresh old of exercise intensity eg, 50 of VO2max for improving cardiorespiratory endurance 4 Most importantly, implementing low-to-moderate intensity activities for persons with type 2 diabetes minimizes the risks and maximizes the health benefits associated with physical activity for this population Moreover, the lower intensity activity affords a more comfortable level of exertion and enhances the likelihood of adherence, while lessening the likelihood of musculoskeletal injury and foot trauma, particularly when weight-bearing activity is recommended 68 Monitoring the intensity of physical activity in persons with type 2 diabetes may require the use of heart rate or ratings of perceived exertion RPE 4 Although a percentage of heart rate reserve 50 85 or
maximal heart rate 60 90 is commonly used to identify exercise intensity for nondiabetic individuals, those with type 2 diabetes may develop autonomic neuropathy 192, which affects the heart rate response to exercise Consequently, using heart rate as the only means to monitor intensity may be unsuitable for some with type 2 diabetes A more appropriate adjunct to gauge the intensity of physical activity may be to use the RPE scale, especially in those who do not require specific heart rate limits 4 It is imperative that those using this scale become familiar with its use eg, matching description of level of perceived effort with a corresponding number for proper implementation Duration The duration of physical activity for persons with type 2 diabetes is directly related to the caloric expenditure requirements and inversely related to the intensity Initially, those with type 2 diabetes should engage in physical activity for 10 15 min each session 68 Ideally, it is recommended that the time of the physical activity session be increased to at least 30 min to achieve the recommended energy expenditure 4 Also, physical activity can be divided into three 10-min sessions, whereby 30 min
of physical activity is accumulated in a single day to account for the necessary energy expenditure 27 As stated earlier, when weight loss is a primary goal, the intensity needs to be low-to-moderate 50 VO2max and the duration needs to be incrementally increased to approximately 60 min 30 Mode The recommended types of physical activities for persons with type 2 diabetes are those that afford greater control of intensity, have little interindividual variability in energy expenditure, are easily maintained, and require little skill 4 Combined with personal interests and goals, the mode of physical activity is important to aid in motivating the person with type 2 diabetes to begin physical activity, as well as to sustain a life-long physical activity habit The mode of physical activity dictates that the level of energy 1350
Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine

expended and/or improvement in cardiorespiratory endurance be directly influenced by the amount of muscle mass used over the time of activity, as well as the rhythmic and aerobic nature of the activity For those with type 2 diabetes, it is important to identify a mode of physical activity that can safely
and effectively maximize caloric expenditure Walking is the most commonly performed mode of activity for those with diabetes 63 and is the most convenient low-impact mode of physical activity However, because of complications or coexisting conditions such as peripheral neuropathy or degenerative arthritis, those with type 2 diabetes may require alternative modes that are non-weightbearing activities eg, stationary cycling, swimming, aquatic activities or alternate between weight bearing and non-weight-bearing activities 4 Resistance training has the potential to improve muscular strength and endurance, enhance flexibility, enhance body composition, and decrease risk factors for cardiovascular disease 143,175,179,182 In nondiabetic subjects, resistance training has resulted in improvements in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity 86,130,160 Resistance training appears to prevent loss of, and may even increase, muscle mass during and after energy restriction 15,34,67 Treuth et al 185 were able to demonstrate that intraabdominal obesity was reduced after 16 wk of moderateintensity resistance training There are limited data on the use of resistance training in individuals with type
2 diabetes 56,62, but results appear to be consistent with the findings in nondiabetic subjects mentioned above It is recommended that resistance training at least 2 d wk 1 should be included as part of a well-rounded exercise program for persons with type 2 diabetes whenever possible A minimum of 8 10 exercises involving the major muscle groups should be performed with a minimum of one set of 10 15 repetitions to near fatigue Increased intensity of exercise, additional sets, or combinations of volume and intensity may produce greater benefits and may be appropriate for certain individuals More detailed information for developing the resistance exercise training plan for people with diabetes is available 83 All persons with type 2 diabetes should be carefully screened before beginning this type of training and should receive proper supervision and monitoring Caution should be used in cases of advanced retinal and cardiovascular complications Modifications such as lowering the intensity of lifting, preventing exercise to the point of exhaustion, and eliminating the amount of sustained gripping or isometric contractions should be considered in these patients Rate of progression The
rate of increasing physical activity for those with type 2 diabetes is dependent upon several factors, including age, functional capacity, medical and clinical status, and personal preferences and goals 4,68,201 Moreover, initial changes in progression should focus on the frequency and duration of physical activity, rather than intensity, in order to provide a safe activity level that can be performed without undue effort and to increase the likelihood of sustaining the activity habit 4,208 Initially, it is recommended that those with type 2 diabetes
http://wwwmsseorg

engage in physical activity at a comfortable level RPE 10 12 for about 10 15 min at a very low intensity at least 3 times per week and preferably 5 times per week 187,207 Duration of physical activity should be gradually increased to accommodate the functional capacity and clinical status of the person with type 2 diabetes Given that older age and obesity are common elements of type 2 diabetes 8,10, a longer period of time may be necessary for the older and/or obese person to adapt to a recommended physical activity program 4,200 After the desired duration of activity is achieved, any increase in intensity should be
small and approached with caution to minimize the risk of undue fatigue, musculoskeletal injuries, and/or relapse Limitations The feasibility and efficacy of using physical activity as treatment for type 2 diabetes has been questioned for many years 27 Motivation is difficult and drop-out rates are often very high Those with type 2 diabetes often find endurance exercise to be uncomfortable Insulin-resistant subjects, as well as those with type 2 diabetes, have an increased number of type IIb muscle fibers, a low percentage of type I fibers, and a low capillary density 28,29,31,122,137 These muscle fiber composition abnormalities may affect tolerance for aerobic activity The intensity of exercise at the anaerobic threshold is also lower in subjects with type 2 diabetes 19,32 Care should be taken to keep exercise intensity at a comfortable level in the initial periods of training and should progress very cautiously as tolerance for activity improves Risks and Complications of Exercise Acute glycemic responses Moderate-intensity exercise increases glucose uptake by 23 mg kg 1 min 1 above usual requirements 70-kg person: 84 126 g h 1 of exercise During high-intensity exercise, glucose
uptake increases by 5 6 mg kg 1 min 1; however, exercise of this intensity cannot usually be sustained for long intervals 201 Adequate and appropriate nutrition is important for any person engaging in physical activity Fatigue can result from deficiencies of oxygen, fluids, or fuel, which can occur separately or in combination Carbohydrate is needed during events lasting longer than 60 90 min 44,197 as well as after exercise to replenish muscle glycogen stores 89 Fluid intake is essential For exercise lasting up to 1 h, plain water is usually the best beverage, but for exercise lasting longer, water and extra carbohydrate are needed Six to 8 carbohydrate solutions are absorbed better and cause less stomach distress than regular soft drinks and fruit juices, which are 1314 carbohydrate solutions 111 Hypoglycemic reactions in connection with exercise in persons with type 2 diabetes are rare, occurring mainly in persons being treated with sulfonylurea oral medications and/or insulin and participating in unusually strenuous or prolonged exercise Instruction on appropriate treatment of hypoglycemia in those with type 2 diabetes who use these medications is necessary Blood glucose

nutrition therapy alone is not significantly different from that in persons without diabetes During mild-to-moderate exercise, elevated blood glucose concentrations fall toward normal but do not reach hypoglycemic levels There is no need for supplementary food intake before, during, or after exercise, except when exercise is exceptionally vigorous and of long duration as explained above In this case, extra food may be beneficial just as it is in the person who does not have diabetes To minimize the occurrence of low blood glucose, it is imperative to understand the relationship of the exercise bout to the: a time when medications were taken eg, time of oral antidiabetic medications, or time and site of insulin injection; b antecedent and postexercise nutrition; and c last blood glucose assessment The timing of insulin injection should be at least 1 h before the onset of exercise and preferably in a nonexercising or nonactive area Use of a nonexercising area does not guarantee prevention of low blood glucose Depending on the duration and intensity of exercise, the insulin dose
may need to be modified Insulin dose adjustments must be made on an individual basis and should be done in consultation with appropriate members of the health care team Self blood glucose monitoring is recommended for those with type 2 diabetes who engage in physical activity, especially during the initial activity sessions 4,68 Moreover, glucose monitoring is appropriate before and after an exercise bout Given the knowledge and understanding of glucose levels, persons with type 2 diabetes, in consultation with their health care professional, can take appropriate action by reducing medications before exercise or increasing carbohydrate consumption 15 g h before or after exercise to reduce the likelihood of hypoglycemia Adjustment to medications is preferable over increasing caloric intake to prevent hypoglycemia in those trying to reduce body weight Long-term complications Although macrovascular and microvascular complications are prevalent in type 2 diabetes 10,13, their existence is not an absolute contraindication for physical activity However, the risk of exacerbating specific complications and provoking musculoskeletal injuries in persons with type 2 diabetes is increased with
physical exertion 57,198 Thus, there are physical activity precautions for all persons with type 2 diabetes, and limitations for those who have diabetic complications 215 Before commencing exercise, those with type 2 diabetes should have a thorough physical exam to assess the presence of macro- and/or microvascular complications, and obtain physician approval to ensure that a safe and effective individualized activity program is developed 4,68 Initially, medical approval should evaluate glucose control eg, HbA1c, physical limitations with respect to joint immobility common to diabetes, prescribed medications, and special considerations with reference to the type and severity of complications see Table 1 Given the age of the person and duration of diabetes, the physician may recommend that a stress test be performed before safely participating in an exercise program For those with type 2 diabetes that are

TABLE 1 Evaluation before starting an exercise program Evaluate glycemic control Subject may need modification of medication or carbohydrate ingestion if hypoglycemia is a problem Severe hyperglycemia may be worsened with intense
exercise Are complications present? Is the subject known to have cardiovascular disease or is he/she at high risk? Is the subject at risk for injury due to peripheral neuropathy? Is diabetic renal disease present? High intensity aerobic or resistance exercise may worsen progression Does the subject have retinopathy which will be worsened by activities which increase ocular pressure, eg, resistance training?

35 yr of age, it is recommended that a stress test be conducted before participating in most physical activity 4 The rationale for recommending a stress test electrocardiogram on persons who meet this age criterion is to assess cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as the risk for macrovascular disease is increased in type 2 diabetes 9 Moreover, the stress test electrocardiography will identify target heart rate limits within which the person with or without autonomic neuropathy can safely exercise Additionally, physical exertion may induce a recognizable hypertensive response in some with diabetes 28 Exerciseinduced hypertension can be identified during a stress test and avert abnormal blood pressure excursions during normal physical activity by identifying appropriate
physical activities eg, intensity, or selection of activity For additional information on the chronic complications of diabetes and exercise, the reader is referred to the Health Professionals Guide to Diabetes and Exercise 6 Vascular disease Diabetes is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease The risk of myocardial infarction is 50 greater in diabetic men and 150 greater in diabetic women 203 The propensity for arrhythmias during exercise and the ischemic response to exercise should be evaluated Moderate intensity activity 60 80 of maximum heart rate, 50 74 VO2max is usually recommended for those with known coronary artery disease without ischemia or significant arrhythmias 14,144 In those with angina, the target heart rate should be 10 beats or more below the ischemic threshold 3 In patients without angina, the ischemic threshold should be determined by an exercise electrocardiogram Autonomic neuropathy interferes with heart rate regulation by depressing maximal heart rate and blood pressure, and increasing resting heart rate 92 Early warning signs of ischemia may also be absent in those with autonomic neuropathy There is increased risk for
exercise-induced hypotension after strenuous activity in persons with autonomic neuropathy 218 Moreover, persons with autonomic dysfunction exhibit a lower fitness level and fatigue at relatively low workloads 193,194 Consequently, physical activity for these persons should focus upon low-level daily activities, where mild changes in heart rate and blood pressure can be accommodated 69 Any physical activity program for persons with autonomic neuropathy should be viewed with caution and should have physician approval Moreover, it is recommended that type 2 diabetic individuals with autonomic neuropathy undergo a diagnostic stress test to rule out 1352

the presence of cardiac function abnormalities and identify safe limits of physical activity 217 Although weight-bearing activity is preferred 4, type 2 diabetic individuals with peripheral vascular disease PVD who have claudication may choose to perform low- or non-weight-bearing activity eg, swimming, aquacize, stationary cycling or alternate between different types of weight-bearing versus non-weight-bearing activities Physical activity must be performed to pain tolerance
with intermittent rest during each session of activity 4 Moreover, peripheral neuropathy in the presence of PVD may preclude the use of weight-bearing activities, due to the possibility of foot trauma 193 Peripheral neuropathy This form of neuropathy affects the extremities, especially the lower legs and feet 70,71,162, and results in loss of distal sensation that can lead to musculoskeletal injury or to infection Non-weightbearing activities should be performed by persons with peripheral neuropathy in order to mitigate irritation and/or trauma to the lower legs and feet 69,193 As a pragmatic recommendation, proper footwear for all weight-bearing activities of daily living is very important to minimize the likelihood for undetected sores, which can evolve into an infection if unnoticed The feet should be examined daily by the person with diabetes and at each physician visit Nephropathy Increased blood pressure is a common precursor and is related to worsening kidney disease 69; however, it remains to be proven whether exercise-induced blood pressure changes exacerbate the progression of nephropathy Although few studies have examined exerciseinduced microalbuminuria in persons with
type 2 diabetes 133, physical activity may assist in controlling factors eg, blood glucose and blood pressure related to the progression of nephropathy in those with type 2 diabetes 88,103 Persons with nephropathy should avoid activities which cause the systolic blood pressure to rise to 180 200 mm Hg eg, performing Valsalva maneuver, high-intensity aerobic or strength exercises, as increases in systemic pressure could potentially worsen the progression of this disease Those with later stages of renal disease should partic ipate in lower intensity physical activities 50 VO2max with physician approval, as cardiorespiratory and healthrelated benefits are accrued at this lower level of training It is recommended that exercise testing be conducted to identify safe intensity limits for those with type 2 diabetes who have advanced nephropathy 32 Retinopathy Although exercise increases systemic and retinal blood pressures, there is no evidence that physical activity acutely worsens the retinopathy present in diabetes 195 Bernbaum and associates 20 found that type 1 and type 2 diabetic individuals with proliferative retinopathy who engaged in a low-intensity training program improved
cardiovascular function by 15 Precautions were taken to limit systolic blood pressure to 20 30 mm Hg above baseline during each training session Thus, in a well-supervised environment, low-intensity aerobic activity can be safely performed by persons with retinopathy 194,216 Those with type 2 diabetes should be evaluated to determine the
http://wwwmsseorg

degree of retinopathy If retinopathy is present, they need to be cautioned about engaging in activities that cause blood pressure to increase dramatically, such as head-down or jarring activities or those with arms overhead 194,195,216 Adoption and Maintenance of Exercise by Persons with Diabetes In spite of substantial evidence showing health benefits of long-term exercise for persons with diabetes 195, it is rarely incorporated as an integral part of therapy 64 Moreover, adherence to prescribed exercise programs is frequently poor 63,129 Little is known about factors likely to affect exercise adoption and maintenance Two theoretical models are useful for understanding these factors: the transtheoretical model ie, stages of change theory 146 and self-efficacy theory 17 The transtheoretical model postulates that persons are at
different cognitive stages with regard to their readiness to adopt and maintain a particular behavior, such as exercise, ranging from precontemplation and contemplation to preparation, action, and maintenance The implication of this stage-based model is that interventions designed to encourage adoption of an exercise regimen must be responsive to the stage of readiness that the individual is currently in and focus effort on moving the individual through the stages 121 Self-efficacy theory postulates that adoption of exercise is a function of judgment concerning ability to do exercise in relation to the probable benefits and costs associated with the activity 16,17 In this context, research has demonstrated that persons with previous exercise experience 42,179, and particularly previous success 125,126, have substantially higher exercise efficacy expectations In addition, physical status may be of equal importance to developing exercise efficacy expectations among older adults who are more likely to have type 2 diabetes and also suffer from more physical limitations generally associated with age 125,126,146 Outcome expectations are viewed as an important element of models of health
behavior and may contribute significantly to ones motivations to adopt a particular behavior A persons confidence for adopting a behavior is influenced in part by the extent to which belief of rewards are associated with that behavior 1 Thus, outcome expectations will have important implications for the form of information and education delivered by health care providers 172 This is supported by research which found that having a physician discuss the benefits of physical activity was a strong predictor of exercise adoption among AfricanAmerican women 118 Factors influencing the contemplation stage Several factors should be addressed to help motivate the person in the contemplation stage to initiate an exercise program 123 First, the program must be viewed by the person as desirable and intrinsically reinforcing Second, the activities recommended must be perceived as realistic and feasible Third, strategies for avoiding the potential negative
EXERCISE AND TYPE 2 DIABETES

consequences of exercise, particularly those associated with diabetes must be taught The failure of persons with diabetes to engage in regular exercise is due, in part, to their outcome expectations Many are not
familiar with the benefits of exercise on their diabetes Even when the benefits are known, health care professionals often describe exercise to their patients using a negative reinforcement paradigm, ie, exercise is done to avoid the onset of punishment in the form of complications, not as an intrinsically enjoyable activity with health benefits Oftentimes, attempts at exercise have resulted in physical discomfort, injury, or hypoglycemia, thus demonstrating that the costs outweigh the potential long-term benefits To engender a better outcome expectation, the rationale for the prescription of exercise should include discussion of the social, psychological, and general health benefits in the population as a whole, as well as particular benefits in persons with diabetes Social benefits include participation of family members, peers, and participation in organized, community-based activities 123 Psychological benefits include reduction in stress, anxiety, and depression and increased feelings of well-being 166 Health benefits include improvements in glucose regulation, weight control, lipid profiles, hypertension, and increased work capacity 36,37,194,198 To help address efficacy
expectations, several key points should be emphasized: q To benefit diabetes control, exercise needs to be part of a lifelong management program that starts gradually and works up to higher intensity q To sustain an exercise program, help the patient select one that reflects their goals, desires, and the availability of appropriate support q Teach the person with diabetes how to perform the selected activity so that he/she avoids discomfort, injury, and problems with his/her diabetes q Assure those with diabetes that they do not have to figure out how to set up an exercise program alone There are health care professionals who can help them accomplish these goals Factors influencing the action stage An important component to increasing exercise adoption is providing patients with specific exercise prescriptions Frequently, the recommendation to exercise is a generic prescription with no specific instructions about what to do or how to do it As a result, most persons with diabetes do not have a clear idea about what type of exercise will work best for their particular situation Moreover, they are not given much guidance concerning how to adjust their diabetes regimen to safely
exercise As a result, they often choose activities without any reflection as to their suitability or safety Discussing patients answers to two simple questions can help them to more critically consider factors that can help or hinder their selection of an exercise method they are likely to enjoy These questions are: What are your goals for exercise? Finding out patients goals for exercising will help them identify a method to achieve those goals 180 Their rationale may not reflect
Medicine Science in Sports Exercise

1353

what the health care professional feels is most important but may result in achieving the same endpoint What types of physical activity are you doing or think you would like to do? This question is designed to help guide patients in selecting an activity they are motivated to do If they do not have preferences, ask them to indicate their preference between the following options: a long or short duration; b high versus low intensity; c exercising by themselves or with others; d exercising at home or at a facility; e exercising indoors versus outdoors; and f a competitive or cooperative sport Their responses to these types of preference trade-offs will help them
to more critically consider what is truly reinforcing to them It will also help to provide suggestions as the suitability of a given activity and how they may best adapt their diabetes regimen to its demands The Ease of Access and Ease of Performance Index Once the person with diabetes has narrowed down the possibilities, or even selected a specific exercise method, the reasonableness of the activity given their personal situation should be considered by reviewing the Ease of Access and Ease of Performance index 123 These are self-assessments of how realistic the activity is for them given their life style Ease of Access Index The Ease of Access addresses the question how easily can I engage in my activity of choice where I live? Many people have a tendency to begin an exercise program only to find that its simply too difficult to participate on a regular basis for a variety of reasons that were either ignored, rationalized, or simply not considered before the program was begun To determine their ease of access index for a given activity, ask the person to consider the following questions: q Does it require special facilities and are these facilities available? q Does it require
special equipment and is this equipment available and affordable? q Does it require special training or instruction and is this instruction readily available, scheduled at convenient times, easy to get to, and affordable? q Does it require others to do it and can these partners always be found? q Is it seasonal, and what can be done other times of the year? Ease of Performance Index If the exercise activity has an acceptable ease of access index, encourage evaluation in terms of its ease of performance index The ease of performance index is an assessment of how suitable the activity is in terms of the persons physical attributes and life style To determine the ease of performance index, have the person consider the following questions: q Does the activity suit their physical attributes? q Can he/she realistically integrate the chosen activity into his/her current lifestyle? q Can he/she afford any costs associated with it? q Does he/she have a good support network if needed for the activity? 1354

Factors influencing the maintenance stage There are several factors that health care professionals can use to help persons with
diabetes maintain an exercise program These include: 1 Appropriate exercise and equipment to avoid injury The individual with diabetes should engage in a proper warm-up and follow a gradual build-up training schedule Equally important is the use of proper equipment, especially footwear 2 Set realistic exercise goals Exercise goals should be precisely defined and realistically attainable Goals should be defined by exercise behavior eg, walk 30 min three times per week rather than by a desired outcome eg, lose 20 pounds Smaller, step-wise goals for which success and progress can be observed should be encouraged 3 Set an exercise schedule in advance and stick to it Long-term habits are developed through practice Moreover, a regular schedule makes diabetes regimen adjustments easier to establish thereby improving glycemic control 4 Use an exercise partner An exercise partner can help encourage and motivate an individual to maintain a training schedule In addition, they may be of assistance in the event of a hypoglycemic episode 5 Encourage self-rewards Progressive rewards for reaching exercise goals can increase motivation to stay with an exercise program 6 Identify alternative
exercise activities to reduce boredom Individuals who become bored with a single activity should be encouraged to select alternative activities that will help them remain active The goal is to do some form of physical activity 7 Understand the difference between failure and backsliding For some individuals, any deviation from a schedule or not meeting the expectations is viewed as failure It is important to help such individuals understand and accept off days as part of any long-term exercise program When off days do occur, the concept of a backslide, ie, a temporary state, should be reinforced, and return to the regular schedule encouraged

CONCLUSION
Physical activity affords significant acute and chronic benefits for those with type 2 diabetes The benefits of chronic physical activity are more numerous than those of acute physical activity, emphasizing the need for regular participation by those with type 2 diabetes and those at risk for this form of diabetes Unfortunately, physical activity is underutilized in the management of type 2 diabetes This may be due to lack of understanding and/or motivation on the part of the person with diabetes and lack of clear recommendations,
encouragement, and follow-up by health care professionals Several factors including muscle fiber composition, low capillary density, obesity, and older age require that physical activity be initiated at lower intensity/duration and be increased gradually to reduce risks and contribute to maintenance of physical activity by those with type 2 diabetes

Attention to the patients stage of readiness and factors that will encourage adoption and maintenance of regular physical activity are extremely important for successful use of physical activity as a therapeutic intervention Health care professionals must address physical activity more seriously in this patient population because most people with type 2 diabetes have the potential to derive benefits from regular, moderate levels of physical activity REFERENCES
