第二型糖尿病患者執行有氧運動之血糖立即反應和長期成效—前驅研究

The purpose of this study was to examine acute and long-term effects of aerobic exercise training. A quasi experimental design was used. The experimental group underwent a 10-week aerobic exercise training program. The control group did not receive any instruction related to exercise. The exercise training program consisted of a warm-up period, an aerobic exercise period (30 minutes), and a cool-down period, three times per week for 10 weeks. Serum glucose level was determined by using the mini Accutrend monitor before and after each exercise session, Physical activity status and quality of life were measured at the first week and the tenth week, respectively.
Data analysis was based on twenty-seven type II diabetes patients. Twelve subjects were assigned to the exercise training group, whereas the remaining 15 subjects served as non-exercising control subjects. Results of the study demonstrated that the serum glucose level was significantly decreased from 157.25 mg/dl to 96.83 mg/dl after 30 minutes aerobic exercise (t = 5.62, p ＜ 0.0001). The serum glucose before exercise is significantly related to the changes of serum glucose after 30 minutes exercise (r 0.80, p = 0.002). Although significant improvement was not observed in quality of life, physical activity increased significantly after 10 weeks exercise training.
