Insulin sensitivity is an important marker in developing diabetes type 2. Besides nutrition, exercise is a key therapeutic instrument for optimal insulin sensitivity, because it has direct impact on the muscle. 

In my research group five important projects are running within this scope.

a) Impact of different training modalities on insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular health in diabetes type 1, taking in account glycaemic variability.

b) Impact of strength training on muscle characteristics in patients with diabetes type 2 with neuropathic comorbidities

c) Impact of flavanol intake on insulin sensitivity in patients with diabetes type 2. 

d) impact of hormone replacement therapy combined with exercise on insulin sensitivity in postmenopausal women.

e) impact of high intensity interval training on mitochondrial function and content and insulin sensitivity in patients with MASLD.

For these lines, we have project funding, but additional funding will be used to support personnel cost, materials and consumables.
