Primary
About 10.3 million diagnosed cases and about 5.4 million undiagnosed
Accounts for 90-95% of all cases of diabetes
Characterized by insulin resistance and moderate insulin deficiency
Insulin resistance
Insulin resistant individuals have 35-40% reduction in
insulin mediated glucose uptake
Low to moderate intensity exercise improves insulin sensitivity
High intensity exercise variable response
Transient effect (about 72 hrs) so requires regular activity
not really the trained state
Cardiovascular Disease
Type II Diabetes
Obesity
Obesity related diseases
Aging
While all these diseases have some contribution from
genetic the rapid increases in the last 20+ years are
due to environmental factors.
Sedentary living is responsible for about 34% of deaths due to
coronary heart disease, colon cancer and Type II diabetes
CDC has concluded that physical inactivity is one of the major
underlying causes of premature mortality in the US
