Meta-Analysis of the Effect of Resistance Exercise Prescription on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Overweight and Obese Adults by SUN Yuxin, GUO Xiaoyuan, CHEN Shi, PAN Hui, ZHU Huijuan

“…The literature was screened by 2 researchers according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and relevant data were extracted.Meta-analysis of included literature was performed using RevMan 5.3 software, and publication bias was assessed using funnel plots.ResultsA total of 17 papers and 700 study subjects were included, with 351 cases in the test group, and 349 cases in the control group.Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the control group, the glycosylated hemoglobin of the test group with resistance exercise[SMD (95% CI) =-0.30(-0.53--0.07), P=0.010], fasting blood glucose[SMD (95% CI)=-0.58(-0.90--0.26), P < 0.001], insulin resistance index[SMD (95% CI) =-0.90 (-1.42--0.38), P < 0.001], and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)[SMD (95% CI) =-0.28 (-0.53--0.04), P=0.020] levels were reduced.Subgroup analysis showed that the glucose metabolism levels of the test group with only resistance exercise and a combination of resistance-anaerobic exercise were significantly lower than those of the control group(both P < 0.05).The heterogeneity of the effect of resistance exercise on glucose metabolism in Asian populations(I2=57%) was smaller than that in Caucasion(I2=76%) and other populations(I2=94%), and the level of decrease in glucose metabolism indexes was significant[SMD(95% CI)=-1.15(-1.73--0.57), P < 0.001].ConclusionResistance exercise can significantly reduce the level of glycolipid metabolism indexes in overweight or obese people.…”
