Clinical conclusion
Resistance training has a small positive evidence signal for 2-hour plasma glucose, but the clinical interpretation is limited.
The conclusion and evidence-signal classification are distinct authoritative fields and are reproduced as published.

Population and applicability
Structured population data were available for 4 of 4 supporting studies. 1 study described participants with type 2 diabetes. 4 studies described adult participants.
This population information refers to the materialized supporting studies available for review. Omitted support records remain part of the authoritative support accounting and are available through the audit experience.
View reported population descriptions
These descriptions are reported across the supporting studies; they are not a single synthesized population.
- Elderly patients aged 65 and older.
- Individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
- Patients exhibiting signs of sarcopenic obesity.
- Older (60±5 yrs), overweight (BMI 33±4 kg/m²) adults with prediabetes (IFG, IGT, or combined IFG/IGT)
- Predominantly non-Hispanic White
- 25-39.9
- Mean BMI was in the obese range
- Mean waist circumference indicated visceral obesity
- Prediabetes
- Impaired fasting glucose 95-125 mg/dL and/or impaired glucose tolerance 2-hour glucose 140-199 mg/dL
- Most participants had isolated IFG or combined IFG/IGT
- Sedentary overweight or obese adults with prediabetes, mostly female and White, recruited from the Roanoke, Virginia area.
Limitations
- Upstream consistency scoring indicates mixed findings across the evidence.
- 1 supporting study does not have a displayable topic-matched quantitative effect.
- Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: other, usual_care.
- 2 supporting studies have high, serious, critical, unclear, or unavailable risk-of-bias information.
- 2 of 4 studies with duration data have follow-up of 12 weeks or less.
- 1 study contains conflicting p-value and significance fields; those significance claims are suppressed.
