October 15, 2014 updated by: TCVGH, Taichung Veterans General Hospital

The Effects of Home Bicycle Exercise Program on Hyperlipidemia, Hypertension, Blood Sugar Control, Muscle Strength and Aerobic Capacity

The subjects with MetS or type 2 diabetes were enrolled for this exercise-training program. All participators underwent an indoor bicycle exercise for twelve weeks. In addition to demographic data and biochemical tests were determined after an overnight fasting. Extension of muscle strength was detected in the dominant lower extremity.
