AB  - Results from the European Relationship Between Insulin Sensitivity and Cardiovascular Risk [RISC] study suggest that insulin resistance is not the sole underlying driver of cardiometabolic risk. Insulin exposure and obesity are also independent contributors. Furthermore, the lack of physical activity promotes the development of insulin resistance, and total activity of any kind (more than the intensity of the exercise) improves insulin sensitivity.
