Abstract Introduction Type 2 diabetes and its reversal correlate with increases and decreases in visceral fat (VF). Resistance exercise reduces VF in healthy persons, but little is known in type 2 diabetes. Muscle contractions induced by whole‐body electromyostimulation (WB‐EMS) provide a very effective form of resistance training. We hypothesized that WB‐EMS reduces VF and improves plasma glucose measures in older non‐insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) males and females. Methods A four‐arm age‐matched case control study was done on WB‐EMS twice a week in older NIDDM patients (27 males, 18 females) compared with controls (15 males, 15 females). VAT area (VAT, cm2), total fat mass (TFM, kg) and lean body mass (LBM, kg) were assessed by DEXA‐scanning. HbA1c, fasting glucose and plasma lipoproteins were measured at baseline and after 4 months. Results Baseline control VAT was higher in males than females (140.5 ± 35.6 vs. 96.7 ± 42.3, p |
