Abstract
BACKGROUND:
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective exercise method that could lead to favorable changes in obese and diabetic subjects.
OBJECTIVE:

METHODS:
Fifty obese men suffering from T2DM with ages between 40 and 60 years were enrolled. Subjects were divided into two groups: the HIIT (
RESULTS:
HIIT resulted in significant improvements in the subjects’ body composition, serum omentin-1 levels, lipid profiles, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR (
CONCLUSIONS:
Twelve weeks of HIIT may be an effective training strategy to improve serum omentin-1 levels, body composition, lipid profile, and insulin sensitivity in diabetic obese men.
