Metabolic adaptation
Both linear and undulating-periodized resistance training programs improve basal glycemia in older adults, with reductions of -11.1 mg·dL-1 for linear training and -5.7 mg·dL-1 for undulating-periodized training.
Practitioners can utilize either training program to help improve blood sugar levels in older adults.

Statistical analysis (Δ=X ±SD; P; ES) showed differences on basal glycemia for LT (-11.1±8.1 mg·dL-1; 0,006; -1.61) and UP (-5.7±4.2 mg·dL-1; 0.004; -0.65).
