Abstract

The purpose of study was to find out the effects of isolated and combined effects of aerobic dancing and resistance training on systolic blood pressure of type-2 diabetic patients. To achieve the purpose of the study, 60 type 2 diabetic patients from Karaikudi town, Sivaganga District, Tamilnadu were selected as subject at random. The study was formulated as pre and post test random group design, in which sixty subject were divided into four equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=15, AD, experimental group-2 (n=15, RT), experimental group – 3 (n=15, COM-T) and group-4 (n=15, CG) served as a control group. In this study, three training programme were adopted as independent variable, i.e., aerobic dancing, resistance training and combined training. The systolic blood pressure was chosen as dependent variable. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of analysis of co-variance. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. The results of the present study proved that the three training interventions have produced significantly altered on systolic blood pressure.

Highlights

  • The pre test means value of aerobic dancing; resistance training, combined training and control group on systolic blood pressure on before start of the respective treatments were found to be insignificant at 0.05 level of confidence for the degrees of freedom 3 and 56

  • The post test means value of aerobic dancing; resistance training, combined training and control group on systolic blood pressure on after the treatments were found to be significant at 0.05 level of confidence for the degrees of freedom 3 and 56

  • The results proved that the selected three training interventions namely aerobic dancing; resistance training and combined training were produced significantly altered among the treatment group

Summary

Introduction

Over 180 million people worldwide have diabetes, and the World Health Organization (2008b) predicts that by 2030 this number is likely to more than double. At least 65% of people with diabetes mellitus die from some form of heart or blood vessel disease (American Heart Association 2008a). Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure; 10% to 20% of people with diabetes die of kidney failure(World Health Organization 2008b).Over 48 million adults in Europe and 17 million adults in the United States. In this study an attempt is made to find out the effects of isolated and combined effects of aerobic dancing and resistance training on flexibility of type-2 diabetic patients
