Abstract EN
In obese diabetic subjects, a correct life style, including diet and physical activity, is part of a correct intervention protocol.
Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aerobic training intervention, based on heart rate at aerobic gas exchange threshold (AerTge), on clinical and physiological parameters in obese elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes (OT2DM).
Thirty OT2DM subjects were randomly assigned to an intervention (IG) or control group (CG).
The IG performed a supervised aerobic exercise training based on heart rate at AerTge whereas CG maintained their usual lifestyle.
Anthropometric measures, blood analysis, peak oxygen consumption (V˙O2peak), metabolic equivalent (METpeak), work rate (WRpeak), and WRAerTge were assessed at baseline and after intervention.
After training, patients enrolled in the IG had significantly higher (P<0.001) V˙O2peak, METpeak, WRpeak, and WRAerTge and significantly lower (P<0.005) weight, BMI, %FM, and waist circumference than before intervention.
Both IG and CG subjects had lower glycated haemoglobin levels after intervention period.
No significant differences were found for all the other parameters between pre- and posttraining and between groups.
Aerobic exercise prescription based upon HR at AerTge could be a valuable physical intervention tool to improve the fitness level and metabolic equilibrium in OT2DM patients.
