Physical activity in individuals at risk for diabetes: Diabetes Prevention Program
Article Abstract:
A study investigates leisure physical activity using questionnaires with different time frames in a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) group of overweight individuals aged 25 years and over and with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Results show that the level of reported physical inactivity in the DPP cohort was less than that reported in a Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey subgroup with impaired glucose tolerance, which could have implications for the future translation of the DPP lifestyle intervention in other populations.

Associations of muscle strength and aerobic fitness with metabolic syndrome in men
Article Abstract:
