Effect of Soleus Muscle Push Ups on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Markers, Soleus Endurance, and Adipocytokines Between Type 2 Diabetic, Overweight/Obese and Normal Weight Individuals.

Effect of Soleus Muscle Push Ups on Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Markers, Soleus Endurance, and Adipocytokines Between Type 2 Diabetic, Overweight/Obese and Normal Weight Individuals.

The study aims to investigate the impact of Soleus Push Ups (SPU) on Soleus Muscle endurance, Oxidative Stress Markers, Inflammatory markers and Adipocytokines among people in the United Arab Emirates.
