Material and Method:
Sixteen women with type 2 diabetes with mean age of 50.81 ± 4.96, weight of 76.18 ± 5.15 and body mass index of 29.30 ± 4.51, were randomly separated into two groups of nine aerobic exercise and seven control subjects. An eight-week program of aerobic exercise is conducted by increasingly running on a treadmill three times a week for 30-45 minutes at 55-75% target heart rate; and fasting blood samples were taken before and 72 hours after the last training session of the subjects.
Result:
The mean and standard deviation of each variable are derived from descriptive statistics and Shapiro-Wilkes test is used to determine the natural distribution of data. Covariance analysis further used to examine the changes between groups. Aerobic exercise resulted in decreased BMI (p=0/01), body fat (p=0/05) and weight (p=0/01) yet it had no significant effect on GIP, total cholesterol (p=0/25), HDL (P=0/74), LDL (p=0/77).
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated that aerobic exercise has no significant effect on GIP and lipid profile, but can have significant effect on body composition parameters in type 2 diabetic women. We anticipated, continuation aerobic exercise for a longer period of time may also reduce GIP and lipid profile.
