The Claim
In inactive middle-aged men with overweight or obesity, 8 weeks of resistance training results in an 11.53% greater reduction in oral glucose tolerance test area under the curve compared to aerobic training, indicating a superior effect on glucose intolerance.
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.
For inactive middle-aged men with overweight or obesity, 8 weeks of resistance training leads to a larger improvement in blood sugar control during a glucose tolerance test than aerobic training.
See the scientific wording
In inactive middle-aged men with overweight or obesity, 8 weeks of resistance training reduces glucose intolerance more effectively than aerobic training, as measured by a 11.53% greater reduction in oral glucose tolerance test area under the curve (AUC), suggesting resistance training may be superior for improving glycemic control in this population.
What the research says
1 studyIn middle-aged, overweight men who don’t exercise much, lifting weights for 8 weeks lowered blood sugar levels better than biking or walking. The study showed weights worked best for improving how the body handles sugar.
