Abstract

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)
