Study aim
-
Determining the effect of moderate intensity continuous physical exercise in working women with diabetes
-
Design
-
Randomized controlled clinical trial, Phase 2 on 30 middle-aged women with type 2 diabetes
-
Settings and conduct
-
All individuals will be familiarized with the conditions and procedures for participating in the research, and their physiological indicators, including height, weight, BMI, body fat percentage, blood sugar levels, and history of medication and disease, will be examined. All subjects will have their height and weight measured at baseline and 48 hours before the exercise intervention (after 12 hours of fasting, at 8:00 AM) to measure BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, body composition analysis and VO2max, and venous blood samples will be taken to measure blood parameters. Each training session includes approximately 10 minutes of warm-up (2-4 minutes of easy jogging, 2 minutes of joint warming up, and 4 minutes of stretching) and 5 minutes of cool-down.
The subjects in the exercise group performed a training program that included walking/running on a treadmill 3 days a week, and the subjects in the control group lived their normal daily lives for 12 weeks.
Heart rate will be measured after the training sessions and the intensity of the training will be adjusted using a Polar heart rate monitor. An attempt will be made to record the average heart rate of the subjects in each session and to continue the activity in proportion to the ability level of the individuals.
