Effect of circuit resistance training on glycemic control of females with diabetes type II

Background: we aimed to assess effects of circuit resistance training (crt) on glycemic control of females with type ii diabetes. methods: twenty obese and overweight females with diabetes type ii were randomly selected in two groups (circuit resistance exercise and control). crt performed in 3 days/week for 3 months,and the serum and body parameters were assessed. data were analyzed by mann–whitney u‑test and wilcoxon signed‑rank test in spss version 19. results: mean age in the crt and control group was 50.2 ± 4.89 years and 51.3 ± 6.63 years,respectively. results showed significant changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (hba1c) and subcutaneous fat were noted in the crt group (p = 0.04,p = 0.002,respectively). also,findings indicated higher hba1c in crt group after intervention in comparison with controls and results showed a significant difference (p = 0.04). conclusions: according to the positive effect of crt,it seems that can be recommended for patients with diabetes type ii. © 2015 shabani r.
