    Study Notes

    Module 3: Cardiovascular Exercise Principles - Week 3

    • Module covers cardiovascular exercise principles and focuses on exercise prescription for diabetes.
    • Learning objectives include defining diabetes, identifying physiological processes, treatment goals, potential complications, and designing effective exercise strategies.
    • Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia.
    • Types include type 1 (autoimmune, beta cell destruction) and type 2 (insulin resistance, defective insulin secretion). Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy.

    Exercise Prescription for Common Chronic Conditions - Diabetes

    • The module addresses exercise prescription for individuals with diabetes.
    • Learning objectives include defining diabetes, understanding the role of exercise in managing diabetes, the complications associated with exercise in diabetics, and strategies for managing type 2 diabetes through exercise.
    • Blood glucose control is impaired in Type 2 diabetes.
    • 24-hour blood glucose control in diabetics was studied by Van Dijk et al. in Diabetes Journal 2015. The study investigated this topic, covering various aspects of diabetes.
    • The 2010 prevalence of diabetes among 20- to 79-year-olds in Europe, North America, and Oceania was examined.

    Learning Objectives

    • Define diabetes and its types
    • Explain the physiological processes involved in blood glucose regulation and factors influencing high glucose levels in type 2 diabetes
    • State the treatment goal for diabetes and the role of exercise in managing it, both acutely and chronically
    • Discuss the complications associated with exercise in diabetics
    • Design exercise strategies for managing type 2 diabetes

    Overview of Glucose Transport in Skeletal Muscle

    • Glucose transport into skeletal muscle can be insulin-stimulated or exercise-stimulated.
    • Elevated circulating glucose triggers insulin release.
    • Insulin interacts with receptors on target tissues, including skeletal muscle.
    • Skeletal muscle accounts for 50-80% of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. 
    • Insulin movement to the skeletal muscle membrane facilitates glucose transport.

    Pathophysiology of Insulin Resistance

    • Adipose tissue (AT) can become insulin-resistant before skeletal muscle.
    • Insulin resistance in AT leads to an increase in circulating lipids, affecting skeletal muscle function and impacting insulin signaling.
    • Lipid accumulation and reactive lipid production result in impaired insulin signaling. This was further explored.
    • This issue was explored in detail, focusing on how excess lipids impair insulin signaling, leading to resistance and hyperglycemia

    Diabetic Complications

    • Acute complications stemming from uncontrolled glucose levels include hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome.
    • Chronic complications such as peripheral neuropathies (somatic and autonomic), nephropathies, retinopathies, macro/microvascular complications, diabetic foot ulcers, and infections arise with long-term poor management.

    Treatment Goals for Diabetes

    • A combination of diet, medication, and regular exercise form the foundation for diabetes management.
    • Dietary adjustments are crucial for blood glucose control.
    • Medication use, including insulin and oral glucose-lowering agents, is essential for managing blood sugar levels.
    • Regular exercise is a key component for enhancing both insulin and exercise-stimulated glucose transport.

    Exercise-Stimulated Glucose Transport

    • Exercise facilitates GLUT-4 translocation to the plasma membrane, thereby enhancing glucose transport independent of insulin.
    • Exercise minimizes the formation of reactive lipids and increases lipid storage.
    • The metabolic environment activated by exercise triggers GLUT-4 movement from intracellular locations to the plasma membrane.
    • Exercise-induced metabolic environment enables enhanced glucose utilization within skeletal muscle.

    Benefits of Chronic Exercise Training in Diabetes

    • Chronic aerobic and resistance training directly improves insulin action and blood glucose control.
    • Indirectly improves cardiovascular and metabolic fitness, thereby reducing risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, and high cholesterol for diabetes development/progression.

    Prevalence and Diagnosis

    • Prevalence of diagnosed diabetes among individuals aged one year and older, by age group and sex, Canada 2014/15.
    • Prevalence trends and global figures on diabetes, particularly among 20 to 79-year-olds in Europe, North America, and Oceania (2010 data).
    • Data sources, authors, and reference material provide contextual backing for these statistics, adding depth to the topic's background and current situation.

    Exercise Prescription in Diabetes

    • Individualized exercise prescription tailored to the presence of diabetic complications, and to the patient's individual medication regimen.
    • Recommendations vary depending on the severity of diabetic complications and the patient's condition.
    • Glucose control is a key goal.

    Diabetic Complications, Diagnostic Criteria, and Common Medications

    • Module details common medications for diabetes management, including oral anti-hyperglycemics and insulin.
    • The module addresses the potential complications related to the medications, including factors contributing to high blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes.
    • Comprehensive overview and guidelines on various aspects of diabetes management, including diagnosis, criteria, and common medications used in the treatment process

    Additional Information

    • Acute exercise-induced blood glucose reduction in diabetic patients was shown to be significant.
    • Exercise-induced movement of GLUT-4 to the plasma membrane is intact in diabetes.
    • Understanding hormonal compensations and potential issues related to exercise regimens in those with diabetes is paramount.
    • Factors such as insulin intake, medications, and carbohydrate consumption are essential considerations during exercise programs for diabetics.

    Diagnostic Criteria and Exercise Testing guidelines

    • The guidelines for exercise testing, provided in this module, are crucial considering that silent ischemia is often undetected.
    • The information is pivotal to ensure responsible management practices when dealing with pre-existing conditions like diabetes.
