📝 Abstract

Background: Regular exercise represents an effective strategy to prevent and treat type 2 Diabetes.\nObjective: The present study examined the effects of aerobic exercise on glycemic control and serum lipid profile in men with type 2 diabetes.\nMethods: 20 men with type 2 diabetes (age:45.05 ± 3.8) were randomly divided into aerobic exercise group (n=10) and control group(n=10). Exercise Group participated in aerobic training program at 50 -70 % HRR for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week. Fasting blood sugar (FBS),Fructosamine,Glycated hemoglobin(HbA1C) Triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), high density lipoproteins (HDL) and low density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein(VLDL) were measured before and after 8 weeks. Paired and independent t tests were used for data analysis at significant level of P<0.05.\nResults: At the end of the 8 week period, significant decreases have been found in Fasting blood sugar(p=0.017),HbA1c(p=0.045),Fructosamine(p=0.012) and low density lipoprotein(p=0.048) levels and a significant increase has been observed in HDL(p=0.012) of exercise group, while there were no significant changes for the investigated factors in control group (P>0.05).Also there was a significant difference in Fasting blood sugar(p=0.03) and high density lipoprotein levels (p=0.04)between 2 groups after 8 weeks.\nConclusion: Aerobic trainings effectively improve lipid profile and lead to better glycemic control in men with type 2 diabetes.
