Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions

Interventions
Other: Resistance exercise
Other: Aerobic exercise
Dietary Supplement: diet restriction
Registration Number
NCT03716336
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

A total of 42 premenopausal women diagnosed clinically as having insulin resistance. Their ages ranged from 35 to 45 years old; their body mass index was \>30 kg/m2 and They were obese women complained of insulin resistance and non diabetic or cardiovascular disease, were randomly assigned to group A participated in aerobic \& resistive exercise program, and group B participated in aerobic exercise and followed prescribed diet restriction program. Both of the groups (A\&B) followed the treatment program 3 times per weeks for 8 weeks. Assessment of the fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HOMA test of insulin resistance were measured for all subjects in both groups (A and B) was carried out before and after the end of the treatment program

Detailed Description

Forty two obese premenopausal women diagnosed as having insulin resistance were participated in this study. They were selected randomly from the out Patient Clinic of Obstetrics at Kasr El Ainy University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University. Their age ranged from 35 - 45years, their body mass (BMI) were\>30kg/m2. Exclusion criteria of the study were as follows: Patients having diabetic or cardiovascular disease, Patients with life threatening disorders as renal failure and myocardial infarction, Patients with active malignancy and patients with severe hemorrhage, hyperthyroidism, acute viral diseases and mental disorders. Participants were assigned randomly used sealed envelope into two groups (A\&B) equally in number. Group (A): (Combined resistive and aerobic exercise group) consisted of 20 women were participated in aerobic \& resistive exercise program plus diet restriction, 3 times per weeks for 8 weeks. Group (B): consisted of 20 women were participated in aerobic exercise plus diet restriction 3 times per weeks for 8 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HOMA test of insulin8 weeks

A sample of 5ml of venous blood sample was drawn from the ante cubital vein after 10 hours fasting from all women in the two groups (A, B) for measurement of fasting blood glucose, fasting blood insulin and detection of insulin resistance (by HOMA-IR)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
fasting blood glucose level8 weeks

A sample of 5ml of venous blood sample was drawn from the ante cubital vein after 10 hours fasting from all women in the two groups (A, B) for measurement of fasting blood glucose
