Original article – Effect of different resistance training intensities on endothelial function in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review
Authors' conclusion
This systematic review suggest that a single session of high-intensity resistance training improves the EF of people with T2DM. More studies are needed to establish the ideal intensity and effectiveness for this training method.

Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
Brachial artery FMD after a single high-intensity resistance training (RT) session (RPE ∼ 5 "hard") vs control condition (1 study)
- Increase in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) immediately after: 95% CI 3.0% to 5.9%; p < 0.05
- Increase in FMD 60 min after: 95% CI 0.8 % to 4.2%; p < 0.05
- Increase in FMD 120 min after: 95% CI 0.7% to 3.1%; p < 0.05
Further pooled results
Endothelial function (EF) in longitudinal studies (more than 8 weeks)
- Increase not significantly demonstrated in 3 longitudinal studies
