Therefore, this research aims to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of Pilates training on the serum level of adipolin, glycosylated hemoglobin and some body composition indicators in women with type 2 diabetes.

The first group was to perform pilates exercises for 12 weeks in an increasing manner, 3 sessions a week and each session lasted 50 minutes, and the control group continued the routine life program before and after the implementation of the exercise protocol, blood was taken and measurements were taken. Variables were by ELISA method.



Results: The results showed that performing 12 weeks of Pilates training has a significant effect on the serum level of adipolin (P=0.001) and glycosylated hemoglobin (P=0.001) in women with type 2 diabetes. Also, weight (P=0.04) and BMI decreased significantly due to Pilates (P=0.049).



Conclusion: Pilates practice can improve the serum level of adipoline and glycosylated hemoglobin and body composition, therefore Pilates practice may be a non-pharmacological treatment method for women with type 2 diabetes.
