The Effect of Rubber Band Resistance Exercise on Blood Glucose Level of Patient With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Abstract-Introduction: There is compelling evidence that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is more likely to develop in individuals who are insufficiently active. Resistance exercise (RE) has received high recognition as a cornerstone in the management of T2DM. There are several advanced research about RE. However, those do not use rubber band during exercise. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of rubber band resistance exercise on blood glucose level of the patient with T2DM. Methods: The research design was one group pretestposttest design (rubber band resistance exercise) as the treatment given to the patient with T2DM. Fifteen participants were randomly selected from PHC 2 South Denpasar, Bali, in March 2017. Each participant was given exercise using the rubber band in groups carried out every day with a duration of 30 minutes for a week. Blood glucose level was measured by using blood glucose test before and after the intervention. Results: The result showed rubber band resistance exercise was statistically significant decrease the level of blood sugar by 25.43 mg/dl, (p < 0.05). Discussion/Conclusion: Resistance exercise using the rubber band is an alternative form of exercise for the T2DM patient. There is good evidence that rubber band resistance exercises improving glycemic control patients with T2DM.

Rubber Band Resistance Exercise Kombinasi Terapi Musik Efektif Menurunkan Kadar Gula Darah Puasa Pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2

“…Menurut Perkumpulan Endokrin Indonesia (PERKENI) tahun 2015 kadar gula darah 174,61 masih termasuk dalam kategori tinggi. Namun dibandingkan dengan kadar gula darah puasa sebelum diberikan terapi sebesar 186,67 maka kadar gula darah puasa setelah diberikan terapi mengalami penurunan dengan selisih -12,06 hasil tersebut sejalan dengan hasil penelitian oleh (Agustini & Dewi, 2017) yang dilakukan pada pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2 di Puskesmas II Denpasar yaitu rata-rata kadar gula darah pre test sebesar 201 dan rata-rata post test sebesar 176,47. Latihan dengan rubber band resistance exercise ini dapat menyebabkan penurunan kadar gula darah pada kelompok intervensi karena latihan jasmani apabila dilakukan sebanyak minimal 3 kali dalam seminggu dengan durasi 30 menit dalam sekali melakukan latihan maka akan berefek baik terhadap sensitifitas insulin ini disebabkan oleh permeabilitas otot yang berkontraksi mengalami peningkatan sehingga reseptor insulin menjadi lebih banyak dan akan lebih peka.…”

“…Karet elastis juga efektif menghemat biaya, menghemat ruang penyimpanan, sangat praktis dibawa kemana saja, menambah variasi, mudah digunakan sendiri, efektif melatih otot dan dapat dikombinasikan dengan peralatan lain (Agustini & Dewi, 2017). Karena itu karet elastis dapat menghindari beberapa masalah logistic terkait pelatihan resistensi konvensional.…”

“…Hasil tersebut menunjukan terjadinya penurunan dari pre test dan post test yaitu dari 186,87 menjadi 174,61 hal ini sejalan dengan penelitian(Agustini & Dewi, 2017) yang dilakukan pada pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe 2 di Puskesmas II Denpasar yang diberikan rubber band resistance exercise 30 menit perhari selama seminggu dimana hasil post test menunjukan terjadinya penurunan rata-rata sebesar -24,53 pada kelompok intervensi.…”

Exploring the Impact of Combined Thai Yoga and Elastic Band Exercise on Physical Fitness and Exercise Capacity in Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

“…While previous studies have separately explored the benefits of yoga or resistance training with an elastic band in T2DM patients and the elderly (Balaji et al, 2011;Leite et al, 2020;Pratiwi & Hasinuddin, 2018), the combination of these exercises on physical fitness and functional exercise capacity remains understudied. The present study aims to investigate the impact of a 12-week Thai yoga combined with an elastic band exercise on anthropometry, physical fitness, and functional exercise capacity in older individuals with T2DM.…”
