Eccentric cycling for type 2 diabetes: long-term benefits
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of cycling exercise, called eccentric cycling, which focuses on lengthening your muscles while pedaling. It aims to see if this exercise can improve blood sugar control and other health measures in men with type 2 diabetes over time.
