---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
[9] | 2015 | 2 year follow up Retrospective controlled | Type 1 Diabetes | 5 | 26.0 ± 6.3 | MMA/Kickboxing | Reduction in HbA1c by 0.7%, decreased glycaemic variability (84 ± 6 vs. 63 ± 5 mg/dL) and decreased weekly symptomatic hypoglycaemic events (9.0 ± 2.3 vs. 4.5 ± 1.6) after study period |
[25] | 2017 | 3 year follow up Retrospective controlled | Type 1 Diabetes | 3 | 28.0 ± 6.5 | MMA | Reduction in HbA1c, increased daily BG measurements 4.3 ± 1.4 vs. 11.9 ± 0.8 |
Year | Disease | n | Age (Years) | Combat Sports | Outcome | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
[26] | 2013 | Cross-sectional study | Metabolic Syndrome | 261 | 21.4 ± 4.9 | Judo/Wrestling | Prevalence of metabolic syndrome was significantly higher among highest weight class athletes, compared to lower weight class athletes (89% vs. 18% for males, 47% vs. 0% for females). No advantage of combat sports compared to other sports was shown. |
[27] | 2016 | Cross-sectional study | Metabolic Syndrome | 58 | 20.4 ± 1.1 | Judo | Heavy-weight Judo athletes had significantly higher body weight, body fat percentage, and visceral fat (all p < 0.01) compared to heavy-weight American football and rugby athletes. Both groups had the same cardiometabolic risk |
[28] | 2016 | Controlled study | Overweight/Obese | 23 | 14.0 ± 0.9 | Taekwondo | Cardiovascular risk factors and physical fitness could be improved by the Taekwondo intervention |
[33] | 2013 | Randomized Controlled Trial | Overweight/Obese | 47 | 40.4 ± 6.3 | MMA | MMA training improved quality of life and IGF-1 |
[29] | 2020 | Randomized Controlled Trial | Overweight/Obese | 20 | 12.6 ± 0.5 | Taekwondo | Taekwondo achieved greater weight reduction, improvements of some physical fitness variables and moderation of oxidative stress and myokine secretion compared to control group |
[11] | 2020 | Non-Randomized Controlled Trial | Overweight/Obese | 35 | 11.1 ± 1.1 | Judo | Judo exercise improved body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness, and showed a trend towards improved cardiac autonomic function |
[30,31,32] | 2009, 2010 | Randomized Controlled Trial | Overweight/Obese | 20 | 13.1 ± 2.1 | Kung Fu | Kung Fu training reduced inflammation. Insulin and blood lipids remained unchanged. Physical fitness variables, except peak cardiovascular fitness, were improved. Body composition improved as well. |
