Abstract:
Background and Aim: Diabetes, the most common metabolic disorder, is associated with substantial disease burden, including increased mortality risk and significant long-term morbidity. One of the most important causes of type 2 diabetes is changes in body composition and obesity. To examine this issue whether we can see changes in body composition in diabetics and also changes their blood sugar levels or not, we examined the relationship between changes in blood sugar, BMI, WHR, and their fat percentage over 4, 8 and 12 weeks.

Materials and Methods: In this study, 12 women with T2D participated; (54/58±6/73years) (154/83±5/55 height) and (67/96±7/12 weight).
Blood samples and BMI were taken at the beginning of each month in fasting state. Aerobic exercise program includes walking on treadmill with an intensity of 60-65%, which was performed 3 days a week for 12 weeks.

Results: Statistical analysis showed that there was no high correlation between changes in blood sugar, BMI, WHR and body fat percentage after 4 and 8 weeks of aerobic exercise (P>0.05). But at the end of 12 weeks, there was a significant correlation between changes in blood sugar, BMI, WHR and body fat percentage. Moreover, results indicated that maybe this exercise is effective for improving body composition.

Conclusion: The results of the study showed that increasing the duration of aerobic training sessions with moderate intensity has a noticeable effect on blood sugar and these changes were correlated with changes in body composition, which maybe due to some compatibility metabolic cells, in addition to the changes in body composition.
