Type 2-diabetes - types of exercises, to help the arteries of people with diabetes

If we think of exercise often we think of the muscles, rather than the blood vessels, but a good workout is also good for the arteries. Keep in mind if you exercise your muscles demand more oxygen and nutrients than if you are alone, and the arteries are used to carry out supplies to the muscles responsible.

If the heart faster than is the result of physical activity, more blood is pumped and the arteries must open further adjusted. A complication of diabetes is stiff arteries, the difficulties that can cause implementation enough blood in the muscles and organs, and heart failure. Exercise is enough to carry out a large flow of blood when needed to open up the arteries, one way.

Researchers in Diabetes Center of Eulij hospital in Seoul, South Korea, set out, to determine whether the aerobic exercise or resistance training were better for improving the arteries. Their results were published in the August 2011 in diabetes and metabolism journal.

Study: Forty obese women with type 2 diabetes, with an average age of 57, were included in the study and split into three groups:

13 performed aerobic exercises, 12 carried out strength training, 15 served as the control group without exercise.

After 12 weeks 60 minutes training per day 5 days a week, their arteries ability, distances were measured. The aerobic Group increased its arterial ability, more than the other groups expand.

Locomotor system recommended exercises as running and cycling, are often for aerobic capacity increase.

Walking is good for beginners, cycling is good for people, more than 50 pounds (22.7 kg) are overweight, because it puts less stress on your back, hips, knees and ankles, as does stepper and steppers have joints be used indoors, the advantage, although people with arthritis of the knee, which should avoid them.
