The control group did not participate in physical exercise (n=37), and the experimental group was enrolled in a TC exercise training program (n=48). They measured in both groups, in the pre- and post intervention periods, the cardiovascular parameters, OxS markers and inflamma¬tion markers. They concluded that a statistically significant decrease in HbA1c and a decrease in the OxS score were observed in the TC group compared with the control group. They did not observe changes in the cardiovascular parameters.View the original paper by Mendoza-Núñez and colleagues. Aydın TOren MMBahat GDove Medical PressarticleStatistical concernChisquare testMcNemar testGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 13, Pp 1233-1235 (2018)
