The Claim
Low-volume high-intensity interval training combined with walking increases skeletal muscle protein expression related to mitochondrial capacity and glucose uptake to a greater extent than either intervention alone in individuals with prediabetes.
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.
In people with prediabetes, combining short bursts of intense exercise with walking leads to higher levels of specific muscle proteins involved in energy production and sugar uptake compared to doing either type of exercise by itself.
See the scientific wording
Low-volume high-intensity interval training combined with walking improves skeletal muscle protein expression related to mitochondrial capacity and glucose uptake more than either intervention alone in individuals with prediabetes.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: High-intensity interval training improves insulin sensitivity in individuals with prediabetes.
When people with prediabetes did short bursts of intense cycling plus walked a lot every day, their muscles got better at using sugar and making energy — better than when they only did walking or only did the intense cycling.
