This systematic scoping review examined exercise-responsive endocrine-metabolic mediators in diabetes and cardiometabolic disorders, analyzing 365 reports from 363 studies. The review found that 90.9% of studies identified exercise-responsive evidence, while 87.0% showed cardiometabolic associations. Adipokines, particularly adiponectin and leptin, were the most frequently represented mediators.
Key findings
- 90.9% of studies identified exercise-responsive evidence related to mediators.
- 87.0% of studies showed cardiometabolic associations with exercise.
- Adipokines were present in 58.4% of studies contributing named mediators.
- Chronic training accounted for 81.6% of exercise contrasts analyzed.
Why it matters
Understanding the role of exercise-responsive mediators can inform strategies for managing diabetes and cardiometabolic disorders. This knowledge may enhance the effectiveness of physical activity interventions in clinical practice.
