Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of concurrent training on fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, high-sensitivity C - reactive protein and insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this study, 33 female patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into 3 groups: 1) concurrent (aerobic- resistance) training with 20 minutes of rest, 2) concurrent (aerobic- resistance) training with no rest, and 3) Control. Subjects in groups 1 and 2 performed 3 weekly concurrent training sessions for 8 consecutive weeks. The results showed that glycosylated hemoglobin, high-sensitivity C - reactive protein reduction and insulin resistance increase occurred in both training groups, but these changes were not statistically significant. Although the concentration of fasting blood glucose in the training groups significantly decreased (P<0.05), the reduction in fasting blood glucose was not significantly different between these two groups. The control group experienced no significant change in any of the variables. As both of these two types of concurrent training bring about similar health benefits and also because the risk of hypoglycemia and excess fatigue increases in the case of performing the concurrent training without the mid-session rest, a 20-minute rest interval between the resistance and aerobic components of a concurrent training session is preferred and suggested.
