Abstract

This study wa s planned to assess the effect of exercise i n obese type - 2 diabetics on anthroprometric and metabolic parameters with respect to prakriti. For the purpose of study, 30 O bese T ype D iabetes M ellitus subjects were enrolled (30 - 55 y ea rs of both sex).

Significant decrease in BMI, weight and PPBS was observed in both kap ha and pitta prakriti group individuals . Statistically significant change in terms of decre ase in FBS, serum insulin level , HOMA IR and increase in HOMA - %S was seen in kapha prakriti group individuals whereas as per prakriti, no change was seen in HOMA - % B . Aerobic exercise has shown immense impact on anthroprometric and metabolic parameters on OTDM patients with relation to specific body constitution
