The Claim

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, higher training-related caloric expenditure is associated with greater reductions in body weight, fat mass, and glycated hemoglobin.

In plain English

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, burning more calories through physical activity is linked to larger decreases in body weight, body fat, and blood sugar levels.

See the scientific wording

In obese adults with type 2 diabetes, higher training-related caloric expenditure is associated with greater reductions in body weight, fat mass, and glycated hemoglobin, suggesting that the amount of physical activity performed may influence metabolic improvements.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: One-year caloric restriction and 12-week exercise training intervention in obese adults with type 2 diabetes: emphasis on metabolic control and resting metabolic rate

    This study found that when obese adults with diabetes exercised more and burned more calories through activity, they lost more weight, body fat, and improved their blood sugar levels. More exercise = better results.
