Objective: The individual changes in insulin sensitivity in response to exercise demonstrate a large variation. The mechanisms contributing to improved insulin sensitivity by training in type 2 diabetes are not fully known but presumably involve both metabolic and structural adaptations. The present study investigates if associations exist between changes in expression of key genes and improved insulin sensitivity, VO2max and glycemic control following exercise trai...
