Abstract EN
Objective: To investigate the effect of progressive resistance training (PRT) on glycemic control in elderly type II diabetic patients.
Methodology : the study was conducted on 40 elderly individuals with type II diabetes.
They were divided into 2 equal groups.
The progressive resistance training (PRT) group received 16 weeks of PRT program plus the usual diabetic care, while the control group received a controlled exercise program plus the usual diabetic care.
Glycemic control, lipid profile, resting blood pressure, muscle strength and anthropometry were evaluated for the 2 groups at baseline and at end of the study.
Results : for the PRT group we found a highly significant reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) (t = 13.64, p < 0.001), highly significant increase in muscle strength (t = 10.19, p < 0.001), trend for reduction in blood pressure and trend for reduction in triglyceride level.
Conclusion : PRT when included with usual diabetic care for elderly people with type II diabetes is of benefit in glycemic control and at the same time is safe and well tolerated.
