N2 - The prevalence of insulin-resistant conditions – such as obesity, themetabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes – is on the increase affectingall age groups and both sexes.1 A sedentary lifestyle lies at the core ofthese disorders; therefore, increased physical activity is considered anintegral part of lifestyle modification for the prevention and treatmentof insulin resistance.2,3 There is a wealth of epidemiological evidenceindicating that high levels of habitual physical activity are associatedwith lower incidences of obesity, the metabolic syndrome and type 2diabetes.2,3 This article will review current knowledge regarding exerciseand insulin sensitivity, focusing on factors that determine the responseto exercise, such as acute versus chronic exercise, the mode and amountof exercise, duration and intensity, as well as other parameters that maymodify this response...
