The Claim

Twelve weeks of supervised aerobic exercise improves maximal NADH-linked oxidative phosphorylation capacity in skeletal muscle of obese adults with type 2 diabetes, with trends toward improvement in succinate- and complex III-linked respiration.

What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Cause and effect
1 study reviewed
In plain English

After doing supervised aerobic exercise like walking or cycling for 12 weeks, obese adults with type 2 diabetes get better at using oxygen to make energy in their muscles—especially through one key energy pathway—and might also improve a couple of other related energy systems.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: 1602-P: Exercise Training Reverses Skeletal Muscle DRP1 Hyperactivation and Improves Respiratory Capacity in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

    The study had obese adults with diabetes do 12 weeks of supervised cardio exercise, and their muscle cells got better at using oxygen to make energy — exactly what the claim says.
