The Claim
In adults with type 2 diabetes, resistance training involving hypertrophy and endurance protocols combined with aerobic training is associated with a statistically significant increase in resistin levels, though the authors interpret this increase as a chance finding due to lack of biological plausibility and inconsistent directionality between groups.
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 adults with type 2 diabetes, combining resistance training and aerobic exercise is linked to a measurable rise in resistin levels, but researchers believe this change is likely due to random variation rather than a true biological effect.
See the scientific wording
In adults with type 2 diabetes, both hypertrophy and endurance resistance training combined with aerobic training lead to a statistically significant increase in resistin levels, but the authors interpret this as a chance finding due to lack of biological plausibility and inconsistent directionality between groups.
When muscles work hard during strength and aerobic training, the body releases stress signals that tell fat tissue to produce more resistin, a protein that affects how the body handles sugar.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that one kind of strength training made a blood protein called resistin go up a lot, while another kind didn’t change it much. Even though the scientists think this might be a fluke, the numbers still show a real increase in one group, so the claim that resistance training can raise resistin is partly supported.
