Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

In this study, we are trying to explore the potential effects of moderate aerobic exercise for six months on the severity values of blood sugar, HbA1c, insulin, lipid profile, and highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) in a total of 50 subjects diagnosed with diabetes for more than five years with an age range of 30-70 years.

Detailed Description

This study explored the influence of 6 months of moderate-intensity supervised aerobic training on diabetic control parameters, serum lipid profile, hs-CRP, and variable-related correlations in prediabetic and type 2 diabetic patients (T2MD). The patients were classified into two groups: the prediabetes group (HbA1c ≤ 6.5, n = 25) and the T2MD group (HbA1c ≥ 6.5, n = 25). The values of blood sugar, HbA1c, insulin, lipid profile, and highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP) were measured in all subjects by using colorimetric and immunoassay techniques respectively at baseline and postintervention of moderate aerobic exercise for six months. Participants performed the exercise test three times per week for 6 months. The training set comprised of a warming phase by stretching exercises and walking for 5 to 10 minutes, the participants were allowed to reach their precalculated training heart rate (THR) in bout form with a total time of 45 to 60 minutes performed as circuit training using a treadmill, bicycle, and stair master. All patient groups were subjected to estimate diabetic control parameters such as FBS, FI, HbA1c, serum lipid profile, hs-CRP, and BMI as anthropometric changes before and after moderate aerobic exercise training for six month

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of body weight, and height as anthropometric measurements6 month

In this test we are trying to explorer the effects of exercise training on anthropometric parameter's. Thus, weight, and height, and standardized measurements of weight and height were taken in light clothing without shoes for all patient groups

Assessment of body mass index ( BMI in kg/m^2)as anthropometric measurements6 month

In this test, BMI from body weight and height measurements for each participant were estimated before and after exercise training interventions by using a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) based body composition analyzer (TBF 105, Tanita Corporation, Tokyo, Japan)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Analysis of diabetic control parameters6 month

the levels of HbA1c and insulin of the participants were estimated before and after the exercise test.

estimation of lipid profile6 month

lipid profile like total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-Cholesterol, and LDL-Cholesterol were estimated in the serum of each participant
