ABSTRACT
Background: Physical activity plays an important role in the management of type 2 diabetes patients which has an impact on its metabolic responses and can favorably change abnormal blood glucose and insulin resistance. Goal of the study was to investigate the effects of three different modalities of exercise i.e. aerobic and resistance exercise and combination of both exercises on cardio respiratory fitness levels in type 2 diabetes patients.
Methods: A randomized control trial in which 40 Subjects with type type 2 DM were selected for the study for 8 weeks of exercise training. Participants were randomly distributed into the four groups each having 10 subjects (Group A-AT, Aerobic training), (group B-RT, Resistance training), (Group C-ATRT, combined –Aerobic Training-Resistance training.) and (Group-D control Group) .All subjects were evaluated for the outcomes measures for Cardio respiratory fitness level evaluation before the commencement of training (pre-training) and at the end of 8-week of training period (post-training).
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups. Within group analysis showed that both the treatments were equally effective in improving the dependent variables for type 2 DM patients.The results showed significant effect in cardio respiratory fitness levels on AT alone and RT alone than ATRT combined.
Conclusion: The primary outcome of the current study demonstrates that AT alone or RT alone was particularly more effective than combined ATRT in improving CRF in type 2 DM individuals which is defined as having low CRF by established clinical cut points, with a significant number of participants with type 2 diabetes traversing out of low CRF categories.
