In modern Western        nations, the population-based prevalence of insulin resistance is        approaching 20%, and type 2 diabetes is now the most common endocrine        disorder in adults. No longer a disease reserved for the aging        population, type 2 diabetes is also on the rise in adolescents.        Approximately 30% of all newly diagnosed cases (between 1982 and 1994 in        the United States alone) are among people 10 to 19 years of age.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       For those engaged in a struggle against this modern-day epidemic, \u003ci\u003ePhysical        Activity and Type 2 Diabetes\u003c\/i\u003e provides cutting-edge research to        energize current efforts in diabetes prevention, management, and        treatment.

The risk factors for diabetes, the        underlying causes of the epidemic, and its potential consequences are        outlined as well as the role of physical inactivity in the pathogenesis        of diabetes and plans for preventive exercise biology.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II\u003c\/b\u003e continues with an examination of some of the major        defects of substrate metabolism in individuals with insulin resistance,        while in \u003cb\u003epart III\u003c\/b\u003e the authors discuss the impact of exercise        interventions in the prevention, management, and treatment of type 2        diabetes. \u003cb\u003ePart IV\u003c\/b\u003e presents recent developments in molecular and        cellular biology that may provide treatment therapies for the prevention        of type 2 diabetes.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Based on extensive research, \u003ci\u003ePhysical Activity and Type 2 Diabetes\u003c\/i\u003e        presents a wealth of information to assist the biomedical and research        community in creating prescriptive therapeutic tools for type 2 diabetes        intervention—and offers hope for the alleviation of the global epidemic        of insulin resistance.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Alan Hawley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31972140023940,"sku":"9781492574064","price":57.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0308\/2292\/4420\/files\/9781492574064.jpg?v=1773211966","url":"https:\/\/human-kinetics-2020.myshopify.com\/products\/physical-activity-and-type-2-diabetes-1","provider":"Human Kinetics Europe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
