Abstract

Background: In the recent studies, effects of the physical activity and regular exercise in preventing and postponing diabetes type 2, increase in insulin sensitivity, and improvement in glucose metabolism has been observed. Purpose of this study was to survey the effects of aerobic training and resistance training on lipid profile in patients with diabetes type 2. Methods: 45 patients with diabetes type 2 were selected by the targeted sampling method and divided into two aerobic training, resistance experimental, and control groups. Experimental groups exercised for 8 week, 3 sessions per week, each session 45 to 70 minutes. In this period, the control group had no regular exercise. In this study, multiple variables like triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was measured before and after training course. Finally, the results were analyzed using repeated measure test in significance level of 95%. Findings: Results of this study showed a significant improvement in TG and HDL levels after aerobic training course and meaningful improvement in HDL level after resistance training course. Conclusion: Aerobic training course had more effect on improvement of lipid profile rather than resistance training course.
