Beneficial Effects of Exercise Training on Physical Capacity in Type 2 Diabetics: Improvement in Skeletal Muscle Energetic Capacity, Endothelial Dysfunction and Glycemic Control

The aim of this study is to evaluate the improvement in skeletal muscle energetic capacity, endothelial dysfunction and glycemic control induced by physical training in 20 sedentary patients with a type 2 diabetes.The protocol consists in a physical training program with 3 sessions of 30 minutes per week during six consecutive weeks. A skeletal muscle biopsy, a cardiac and humeral artery ultrasounds, a glycemic and tensional holters will be performed before and at the end of the physical training program.
