Objective:

To analyze the long-term associations of resistance training with the incidence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and to evaluate joint associations with adiposity and other activity and sedentary behaviors.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Resistance training is inversely associated with the risk of developing T2D.
    • This study is one of the few to evaluate resistance training alongside aerobic activity and sedentary behavior.
    • Repeated assessments were utilized to model dynamic patterns of resistance training across midlife.
    Interpretation:

    The study aims to enhance understanding of the relationship between resistance training and T2D risk in the context of other lifestyle factors.

    Limitations:
    • The study may be subject to biases inherent in self-reported data.
    • Potential confounding factors related to adiposity were not included in the primary multivariable model.
    Conclusion:

    This study provides insights into the long-term associations of resistance training with T2D risk.
