Abstract
Background: Prediabetes without intervention is likely to become type 2 diabetes in 10 years or less and exercise intervention were generally found to reduce glycated hemo-globin and prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare between aerobic and resisted exercise on glycated hemoglobin in prediabetics.
Subjects: Thirty subjects with prediabetics, overweight, an inactive previous lifestyle, A1C level betwen 5.7%-6.4%, Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG) between 100-125mg/dl, BMI >25 were selected from the out clinic of Damietta Specialized Hospital with age ranging from (25-45 years). They were divided into 3 equal groups; aerobic group (A), resisted group (B) and control group (C).
Procedure: Group A received aerobic exercise with inten-sity 60-75% of MHR, 30-40min duration. Group B received resisted exercise with moderate intensity 60-75% of 1RM. Group C control group for all groups treatment conducted for 3 months, 3 times per week, day after day. HbA1c and FBG were measured before and after 3 months of the treatment. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Faculty of Physical Therapy.
Results: There was a significant reduction of HbA1c and FBG in both groups (A and B) (p<0.05). Comparison between post-treatment values showed that there was no significant difference of the mean values FBG and HbA1c "post" test between (group A and B) with (p=1.00) (p=0.29). While, there was significant difference among (group A versus C), and (group B versus C) with (p=0.03* and p=0.004*) (p=0.002* and p=0.000*) respectively and this significant reduction in favor of group (B).
Conclusion: Both aerobic and resisted exercise may be effective in prevention or delaying of type 2 diabetic but resisted was more effective.
