Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise and Its Impact on Visfatin and Glycemic Control: A Narrative Review

Introduction: Combined aerobic and resistance exercise is widely recommended for obesity management and glycemic control. Methods: Studies indexed in PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, SID, and Google Scholar were reviewed using terms related to combined training, visfatin, obesity, and diabetes. Results: Sahra Navard et al. demonstrated significant reductions in visfatin, BMI, waist circumference, and body weight following eight weeks of combined exercise. Liu et al. reported reductions in HbA۱c, fasting glucose, and insulin resistance after ۱۲ weeks of combined training in type ۲ diabetic patients. Jorge et al. observed greater improvements in visfatin and metabolic control with combined training compared with isolated exercise modalities. Discussion and Conclusion: Combined exercise training appears highly effective for improving glycemic control and inflammatory status. Weight loss and reduced visceral fat may contribute to decreased visfatin and improved metabolic function in obese and diabetic populations.
