  • Title: Exercise and insulin resistance in youth.
    Author: Shaibi GQ, Roberts CK, Goran MI.
    Journal: Exerc Sport Sci Rev; 2008 Jan; 36(1):5-11. PubMed ID: 18156947.
    Abstract:
    In parallel with the pediatric obesity epidemic, the incidence of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes has increased among youth. Insulin resistance is thought to be central to the pathophysiology of these obesity-related disorders. A growing body of literature suggests that exercise may ameliorate insulin resistance and thus potentially reduce the long-term diabetes risk in overweight youth.
