Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes is a growing trend in developing countries. However, an active lifestyle can have important effects in this regard. Therefore, this study was performed with aim 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.
Methods: This experimental study was conducted on women with type 2 diabetes (from the Najafabad Diabetes Association) with an age range of 35 to 55 years in Najafabad city. People were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. The first group performed pilates exercises for 12 weeks incrementally, 3 sessions a week and each session lasted for 50 minutes, and for the control group who continued the routine program of life, before and after the exercise protocol, blood was taken and the measurement of adipoline and glycosylated hemoglobin was done by ELISA method. Data was analyzed by SPSS software (version 25) and correlated t-test and ANCOVA. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
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 training (P=0.049).
Conclusion: Pilates exercises can improve the serum level of adipoline and glycosylated hemoglobin and body composition, therefore Pilates exercices may be a non-pharmacological treatment method for women with type 2 diabetes.
