Grip Strength, Resistance Training and Type 2 Diabetes
Grip Strength, Resistance Training and Type 2 Diabetes

1 CEC

Presented by Elise Brown, Ph.D.  

Discover how low muscular strength is related to increased cardiometabolic risk, including type 2 diabetes; learn about how normalized grip strength cut-points can predict increased cardiometabolic risk and type 2 diabetes in different age groups; and find out about the effectiveness of acute and chronic resistance training in people with type 2 diabetes. 

This course was developed using content from ACSM’s 2023 From Around the Field webinar series. 

Learning Objectives:  

  1. Discuss the relationship between normalized muscular strength and cardiometabolic risk, including type 2 diabetes.  
  2. Explain how normalized grip strength can be used to predict cardiometabolic risk in adolescents and young adults and type 2 diabetes in apparently healthy adults.  
  3. Examine the effectiveness of a single bout and long-term use of resistance training to improve cardiometabolic risk factors in people with type 2 diabetes.
