Diabetes mellitus is the most common metabolic diseases. It is estimated that worldwide prevalence will reach to 21% in 2050. In Iran the prevalence of diabetes is estimated to be about 14%. It divided in two categories: type I and type II. Diabetes type I is due to absolute deficiency of insulin secretion, and type II characterized by resistances to insulin and its inadequate compensation. The aim of diabetes treatment is regulation of blood glucose, lipid and blood pressure to prevent or postpone its complication. Diet, physical activity and medication are three cornerstones in treatment of diabetes. Endurance and resistance and combination exercise are useful in control of diabetes and its dangerous complication. A session of aerobic exercise has shown to increase insulin sensitivity for up to 24-72 hours. Positive effect of exercise is due to its effect on weight loose, increase of Glut4 in muscle, blood flow and decrease in hepatic glucose production. Prolong resistance exercise improve insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and increase skeletal muscle mass and its glucose deposition. Exercise prescription for diabetic patients must be done according to their inability, orthopedic limitation and complication of diabetes, so a team of specialist is needed to determine the level and protocol of exercise.
Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory and reversible disease of airways. Change in Lifestyle by increasing obesity and decreasing physical activity is the main cause of its high prevalence. Asthmatic patients are less fit than their healthy control subjects. Regular exercise improves fitness in Asthmatic patients and reduces the symptoms of the disease. Hence, this article by utilizing the scientific evidence, reviewed the beneficial effects of exercise in patients with asthma diseases. Materials and Methods: In this review article, by key words of exercise, asthma, rehabilitation, sport and respiratory function in PubMed and Google Scholar databases and also Persian language articles about 43 article were enrolled and their results compared together. Results: Different types of exercise are useful in asthmatic patients, but rhythmic exercise, such as walking and cycling with moderate intensity, induce more additional protective effects against asthma. Regular exercise by improving physical fitness and strengthening breathing muscles promotes quality of life in people with asthma. Conclusions: Regular moderate exercise increases physical fitness, lung function and quality of life in asthmatic patents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
