Study aim
-
The effect of 8 weeks of combined exercises (aerobic and resistance) and the consumption of Mulberry leaf Extract on the serum levels of salusin alpha and beta and some cardiovascular inflammatory markers in elderly men with type 2 diabetes.
-
Design
-
The statistical population of the elderly with the age range of 60 to 70 years who referred to the diabetes center of Ardabil province. Phase 3. The sample size will be 40 people. Subjects will be placed in 5 groups, combined exercise group, exercise+supplement, supplement, placebo and control in a simple random manner and in pairs and individuals.

Settings and conduct
-
This study will be conducted as a 1-2 clinical trial. The combined training program (aerobic + resistance), for 8 weeks, will be three training sessions each week and each session will last 90 minutes with at least one day of rest between each session in the gym. Each training session includes a 10-minute warm-up period (including muscle stretching, walking) and aerobic exercises for 10 to 30 minutes with an intensity between 50 and 70% of the maximum strength, which will be calculated through the age-220 formula. After performing aerobic exercises, there is a rest between 3 and 5 minutes, and then resistance exercises are performed by the subjects for 30 to 40 minutes with an intensity between 40 and 70% of a maximum repetition. Resistance exercises include large upper body and lower body muscles, so that the participant can repeat each movement 8-12 times in each station.
