A BURST of exercise for just two minutes a week can prevent diabetes.
The high-intensity workouts are as effective as current guidelines for five 30-minute sessions each week, say scientists.
And there is even more good news for people who are worried about their fitness levels.
“You don’t have to be able to go at the speed of Usain Bolt when you’re sprinting,” said Dr John Babraj, head of the research team.
“As long as you are putting your maximum effort into the sprints, it will improve your health.”
His team at Abertay University in Dundee studied how the high-*intensity training twice a week affected a group of overweight middle-aged people who are known to be at risk of developing diabetes.
Dr Babraj said: “We found that not only does high-intensity training reduce the risk of developing the disease, but the regime needs to be performed only twice a week to reap the benefits.
