Efecto de 3 tipos de entrenamientos sobre indicadores bioquímicos y antropométricos en personas con prediabetes: una revisión sistemática

Prediabetes is a metabolic condition that can progressively develop type 2 diabetes if it is not treated. To reverse prediabetes and prevent type 2 diabetes there is a multidisciplinary treatment that includes lifestyle improvement, healthy diet and exercise. The aim of this systematic review was to study about the best exercise alternatives to prediabetes remission between continuous aerobic training (CAT), resistance training (RT) and high intensity interval training (HIIT). Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and SportDiscus were searched during May 2019, experimental and preexperimental studies with prediabetes participants doing any of these types of training and with anthropometric and/or biochemical outcomes were included. The search had a total of 231 records and 11 of them met the inclusion criteria. Results showed that CAT, RT and HIIT made a similar improvement in prediabetes metabolic and anthropometric measures in trials from 13 days to 16 weeks with a frequency from 2 to 5 times/week, some of the studies didn’t find any differences, there are many different protocols implemented through the studies and this could have caused a high risk of bias. It is recommended to future trials study the glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) with a minimum of 12 weeks of intervention to reduce the risk of bias.
