Sequences of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise and Cardio-metabolic Functions in T2D

"Exercise are performed 3 times/wk for 8 wks.~Aerobic training sessions are performed using cycle ergometers. Riding speed is 55-60 rotations/min, at an intensity between 50%-75% of heart rate reserve (HRR). Real-time heart rate monitors are worn by each participant during the session. Aerobic training session lasts for 30 minutes, with an additional 5-minute warm-up and 5-min relaxation training before and after the session, respectively.~Participants perform resistance exercise on a set of strength training equipment. Load of resistance exercise is between 60-80% of repetition maximum (RM) in each set of exercise. Six different groups of resistance exercise (involving contractions and relaxations of biceps, triceps, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, quadriceps, and hamstrings) are conducted, with 6 sets of 10 repeated tasks in each group. Participants are instructed to finish each set of exercise task within 60 seconds. Between each two sets, there are 60 s of rest time."

Riding speed is 55-60 rotations/min, at an intensity between 50%-75% of heart rate reserve. Real-time heart rate monitors are worn during the entire session. Each aerobic training session lasts for 30 minutes, with an 5-minute relaxation training after the session."
