Efeitos do treinamento resistido no controle glicêmico e na qualidade de vida de pessoas adultas diagnosticadas com diabetes tipo 2

Abstract

Abstract - This study aimed to analyze the effects of resistance training in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), through a literature review with thematic update. Scientific articles published in the last five years were selected from databases such as SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, CAPES Journals, and Google Scholar, in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The results indicated that resistance training significantly contributes to reducing blood glucose levels, promotes important physiological adaptations—such as increased muscle strength and improved insulin sensitivity—and positively impacts quality of life, especially in the physical domain. It is concluded that resistance training is an effective, safe, and accessible strategy for the non-pharmacological management of T2DM and should be systematically included in exercise prescription practices for this population.
