Although with its genetic origin yet to be defined, diabetes mellitus type 2 (DT2) has its burst mostly credited to the environmental and behavioral factors. Through physical exercises and diets interventions, subjects with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG), named as pre-diabetes, can prevent, retard and even control its occurrence. From the published literature we can deduce that endurance exercises offer improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, fat oxidation and adipose tissue reduction. On the other hand, the resistance training is characterized by increasing or maintaining the muscles even when in the presence of weight loss, it increases the functional capacity and improves glucose uptake. One can conclude, therefore, that the effects of both endurance and resistance trainings are complementary, and together will be even more beneficial to the pre-diabetes or already DT2 patients.
