Pedometer- and accelerometer-based exercise in subjects with XXXX .

@entity413 @entity6
AIM: Pedometers and accelerometers have recently become applicable for not only monitoring but increasing level of physical activity (PA). We summarize the effects of pedometer- and accelerometer-based exercise interventions on @entity413 metabolism in subjects with @entity6 ( @entity6 ). METHODS: We searched intervention studies that investigated the effects of step-defined exercise interventions using pedometers and accelerometers on the levels of @entity413 metabolism markers, such as plasma @entity413 and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), in adult subjects with type 2 @entity6 . The study characteristics and findings of @entity413 metabolism markers were reviewed. RESULTS: Of 16 eligible studies reviewed, significant improvements in @entity413 metabolism markers were found in the intervention group compared to that observed in the control group in six studies: the HbA1c level in four studies, both the HbA1c and plasma @entity413 levels in one study and continuous @entity413 monitoring in one study. Four of these six studies emphasized a significance of PA intensity in addition to PA amount. Five studies found a significant increase in the number of steps, but only one of these studies showed significant reductions in @entity413 metabolism markers. No studies demonstrated a dose-response relationship between changes in the number of steps and @entity413 metabolism markers. CONCLUSION: Limited studies showed significant improvements in @entity413 metabolism markers and steps among subjects with type 2 @entity6 . Future studies are needed regarding how to use pedometers and accelerometers to achieve improvements in @entity413 metabolism with increases in PA in such subjects, especially more focus on PA intensity.
