Objective: Therefore, the primary objective of this review was to study the effect of resistance training on insulin sensitivity by examining the available literatures. Methods: A search of all published studies that examined the effect of resistance training on insulin sensitivity were examined using PubMed and Science Direct databases. Specifically, the keywords used were ‘resistance training, strength training, insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance’. During the retrieval process, all articles were rigorously reviewed with exclusion on those that did not fulfill the criteria. Result: Initially, 650 articles were screened and checked for duplication, and 252 articles were retained. The 252 articles were then thoroughly examined through full-text reading. As a result, 23 articles met all the inclusion criteria and were eligible for systematic review. Conclusion: We can conclude that resistance training is an effective way to improve insulin sensitivity.</p> ER -
