Abstract
Metabolic disorders for sugar, fats and amino-acids have a significant influence on the physical performance of type 1 and 2 diabetics. Recent studies have given a great deal of attention to the influence of the entry of fatty acids into muscles and steatosis in skeletal muscles during the onset and development of insulin resistance.
Another important mechanism that influences the maintenance of muscle mass and its performance is the transport of magnesium and its availability in muscle tissue. There is a lack of magnesium in the populations of the industrially developed world its depletion leads to disorders of muscular function, especially in diabetics.
