The article reports on research which was conducted to investigate the effects resistance training and detraining had on glucose and insulin responses to an oral glucose load, muscle fiber type, and muscular performance in the offspring of those with type 2 diabetes (familial insulin resistant (FIR). Researchers evaluated six FIR patients and 10 control subjects. They found that FIR appeared to have exaggerated responses to resistance training and detraining, with a greater reduction in insulin release with glucose ingestion after training and increase when training ceases. They concluded that resistance training has a significant effect on insulin responses and may reduce future risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus among FIR.
