Aim: despite role of aerobic exercise training in controlling type 2 diabetes, effectiveness of different aerobic training intensity’s and their mechanism is unknown. Therefore, the aim of present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks' low and moderate intensity aerobic training on levels of HbA1C, some hematological parameters and percent body fat in men with type 2 diabetes. Method: subjects in present study was consist of 33 obese and overweight men with type 2 diabetes with average age of 43.2 ± 8.03 and BMI 28.63 ± 2.71 that randomly assigned in three groups (11 in each group) including control, low intensity aerobic exercise training and moderate intensity aerobic training. Low intensity aerobic training program were performed with 50 percent of maximum heart rate (MHR) and moderate intensity aerobic training with 70 percent of MHR. Training program continued for eight weeks and three sessions in week for 45-60 minutes in each session. Results: results indicated that HbA1C, glucose and percent body fat significantly (p<0.05) decreased in both training groups. However, lipid profile significantly was improve only in moderate intensity aerobic training group. Moreover, HbA1C decrease and VO2peak increase in moderate intensity group was significantly diffrent to low intensity group. Conclusion: It seems that low intensity aerobic training in comparison to moderate intensity aerobic training are associated with lower adaptations and improvement in type 2 diabetes patient. Keywords: diabetes mellitus, hematologic parameters, endurance training, body fat percent, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C)

AbstractAim: The purpose of this study was to obtain normative values of body fat percent for athlete and non-athlete male adolescent in Tehran city.
Method: For this reason, 619 boys (11-12 years of age) including 306 athletes among 8 sports (with mean weight 33.9±6.0 kg and height 142.4±6.9 cm) and 313 non athletes (with mean weight 33.2±7.6 kg and height 140.5±6.7 cm) were selected randomly and participated in this descriptive study. Body fat percent calculated using slaughter equation and normative values of body fat percent for both athletes and non-athletes were obtained using descriptive statistics.
Results: The findings showed that normative values of body fat percent for athletes were in ranges of 8.72-19.09. Normative values of body fat percent for non-athletes were in range of 8.36-18.73. However, there were no significant differences between norms of body fat percent in athletes and non athletes.
Conclusion: With respect to result of this study, cultureal programs account into consideration for promotion knowledge about adverse effects of sedentary life especially in children and adolescents.
Key words: Norm, Body fat percent, Athlete, Non-athlete
