According to a new study, regular aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, can improve artery health in people with Type-2 diabetes.Compromised arterial health is an underlying mechanism that promotes the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of death in individuals with Type-2 diabetes.Effectively managing cardiovascular disease risk in this population is a major challenge for health professionals."What we found from our analysis, is that aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling appears to have a significantly beneficial effect on the stiffness and the function of the smooth muscles in the arteries," said lead researcher Kimberley Larisa Way from University of Sydney in Australia.
