Exercise training decreases fasting insulin levels and improves insulin resistance in children and adolescents

摘要

Objective: To review the evidence as to whether exercisetraining improves fasting insulin and insulin resistance in childrenand adolescents. Data Sources: PubMed, SPORTDiscus, PhysicalEducation Index, Web of Science, searched up to June, 2013. Thissearch was supplemented by review of the reference lists fromretrieved articles. Study Selection: Randomised controlled trialsinvolving healthy children or adolescents in which exercisetraining was compared to a non-exercise comparison. Outcomemeasures were fasting insulin and insulin resistance. DataExtraction: Two reviewers extracted data, and discrepancies wereresolved by discussion. Methodological quality was not assessed.Data Synthesis: Of the 546 studies initially identified by the search,24 studies, with a total of 1599 participants, met the selectioncriteria and were included in the review.
