Calgary Study On Using Resistance Bands For Type 2 Diabetics

(LosAngeles.CityRegions.Com, April 22, 2015 ) Los Angeles, California -- Trained Sports is a sports equipment distributor specializing in modern and portable sports tools. One of such tools is their resistance bands exclusively available on Amazon. The tool is commonly used for strength and resistance training. Trained Sports CEO shares information about a Calgary study that involves patients with Type 2 diabetes and the use of resistance bands.

The study aims to know if the tool will be useful for controlling blood sugar levels and for improving risk factors of heart diseases through strength training exercises. The researchers are in need of people with Type 2 diabetes who are willing to undergo an exercise program for a span of 6 months. There should be 80 participants who are suffering with Type 2 diabetes but should not have any difficulty walking for 10 minutes.

Moal says, "Resistance training is said to build strength, which is expected to make the body's insulin work better. If the research would determine that strength training with the help of resistance bands will work, it would mean that Type 2 diabetes sufferers would be able to experience the benefits of gym membership at a much lower cost."

Other studies have also looked into the effect of resistance training with the help of other equipment like weight machines but this is the first major research to investigate using resistance bands in determining if strength training can help reduce heart risk factors.

The study looks for participants who are at least 35 years old and is presently not taking insulin for Type 2 diabetes. A participant should also have no difficulty walking for 10 minutes. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following exercise programs: aerobic training or resistance band training combined with aerobic training.

The exercises can be performed in the participants' homes but some sessions have to be done by group and should be monitored by exercise specialists.

Moal adds that he expects to hear positive results from the study since resistance bands are excellent in exercising various muscle groups. Trained Sports Resistance Bands are available on Amazon.
