Background: The aging process is usually accompanied by a decrease in motor performance, and physiological capacities and an increase in the incidence of some diseases, especially metabolic syndrome and diabetes. This research was conducted to determine the effect of eight weeks of combined exercises on the indicators of metabolic syndrome, motor function, and height control in elderly men with type 2 diabetes.
Materials & Methods: In a semi-experimental design in the form of pre-test-post-test, 20 elderly men with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into two experimental (10 people) and control (10 people) groups after initial examinations. Combined exercises were performed for eight weeks and three sessions per week for 90 minutes (aerobics with an intensity of 50-70% of maximum heart rate; resistance with an intensity of 40-70% of one maximum repetition). Serum glucose levels, lipid profile, motor performance index, and postural control were measured before the intervention and 48 hours after the last training session. Data analysis was done using analysis of covariance tests and paired t-tests at a significance level of P≤0.05.
Results: Combined exercises caused a significant decrease in serum levels of glucose (P=0.001), cholesterol (P=0.001), triglyceride (P=0.02) and LDL (P=0.001). Also, a significant increase in HDL (P=0.01) was observed in the combined exercise group. Motor performance index (P=0.01) and postural control (P=0.01) also showed significant improvement after exercise intervention.
Conclusion: It seems that combined exercises (aerobic + resistance) can be effective and suitable strategies for controlling blood glucose, improving lipid profile, as well as improving motor performance and postural control in the elderly with type 2 diabetes.
