changes in clinical and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after exercise therapy

Improvement in Biochemical Parameters in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes After Twenty-Four Sessions of Aerobic Exercise: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Also, the comparable difference in FBS was close to significance. Many literature reports have considered the impact of exercise on biochemical pa- (17)(18)(19). In contrast to other studies, exercise intensity was established by the American diabetes association standard (20).…”

“…In contrast to other studies, exercise intensity was established by the American diabetes association standard (20). Tessior (18), used 35% to 75% of maximum heart rate (MHR) to asses exercise intensity (17). Maximum heart rate was calculated based on the formula (220 -X) where X is the age of the participant in the previous study; however, this formula does not provide exact value of maximum heart rate.…”

“…However, in our study, the FBS, BMI and body weight were reduced by 19%, 2%, and 2%, respectively after 24 training sessions. In some studies, biochemical parameters were only reduced after long-term training of 6 months or more (1,17,(21)(22)(23). It seems that exercise duration influences biochemical parameters, and if the duration is less than a threshold, it does not yield a change in biochemical parameters, e.g.…”

“…Also, many studies proposed long duration of exercise such as 12 weeks (15, 16), 6 months or more (17)(18)(19) of aerobic exercise. The strength of the study was an accurate supervised intervention type, which has obvious advantages.…”
