Il cambiamento che possiamo ottenere produce effetti clinicamente rilevanti?
Adopting and maintaining a physically active lifestyle provides si¬gnificant health benefits to people with diabetes and prediabetes by increasing energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity, and physical fitness and decreasing chronic low-grade inflammation.
