Resumen de Investigación
Resistance training may help reverse prediabetes and improve strength
Moderate confidence
Some Concerns bias
Última actualización 15 de junio de 2026Conclusión Clave:
This trial tested whether adults with prediabetes could start and maintain resistance training. After a supervised 3-month training phase, about one-third of participants were no longer prediabetic, and this was mostly maintained through 15 months. Extra social-cognitive support did not outperform lower-contact standard care.
