Abstract
Background: The American College of Sport Medicine (ACSM) recommends cardiorespiratory fitness training in people with diabetes mellitus (DM) for 3-7 days a week, total duration 150 minutes a week with moderate intensity using large muscle groups. Treadmill training is the best cardiorespiratory fitness training because it involves large muscle group compared to static cycle and arm crank.Aim: To determine the effect of moderate intensity treadmill exercise with gradual increase of speed and inclination on VO2max in men with T2DM.Material and Methods: Randomized group design in 22 men with T2DM, suitable with inclusion criteria was divided into 2 groups, the experimental and control group. The experimental group received moderate intensity treadmill exercise, 3 times a week with gradual increase of speed and inclination for 4 weeks. The control group underwent standard therapy. Measurement of VO2max was performed before and after program in both groups.Results: A significant increase of VO2max in the experimental group (p = 0.003). Compared to the control group, alteration of VO2max also significant among the experimental group (p = 0.000).Conclusion: Moderate intensity treadmill exercise with gradual increase on speed and inclination for 4 weeks increase VO2max in men with T2DM.
Highlights
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia that primarily threat the human health in the 21st century
The homogeneity test of subject characteristics for BMI, smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, random blood glucose, diabetes duration, Oral Anti Diabetic, insulin and VO2max before program between two groups were not significantly different (p > 0.05), except age met the inclusion criteria (Table 2), so all subjects could participate in this study
The results of this study indicate a significant increase in VO2max in the experimental group after 4 weeks, p=0.003 (Table 3)
