The Claim
In adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 12 weeks of combined aerobic and resistance training improves maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
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.
Adults with type 2 diabetes who do 12 weeks of combined aerobic and resistance training have higher maximal oxygen uptake, indicating better cardiopulmonary fitness.
See the scientific wording
In adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, combined aerobic and resistance training for 12 weeks improves maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), indicating enhanced cardiopulmonary fitness.
When people with type 2 diabetes do regular walking and strength exercises, their body reduces harmful inflammation in the blood, which allows muscles to use oxygen better and blood vessels to deliver oxygen more efficiently, leading to higher oxygen uptake during exercise.
What the research says
1 studyPeople with type 2 diabetes who did 12 weeks of walking/strength exercises got better at using oxygen during exercise, which means their heart and lungs got stronger — even if the study didn’t say 'VO2max' outright, they tested it and saw improvements.
