ABSTRACT
Introduction: Exercise offers great benefits for glycemic control of diabetic patients and decreases the occurrence of complications.
Objective: To identify a more effective and less time-consuming exercise modality for patients with type 2 diabetes who live in middle-altitude areas.
Methods: A quantitative,
quasi-experimental study which evaluated 15 patients with diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, who lived in Pamplona, Colombia, and were cared for by a health service provider institution called “Fundación Médico Preventiva”. The sample was randomly divided into three groups, that is, five patients for the combined exercise group, five for the high-intensity interval exercise group and five for the control group which did not perform any physical activity. The two first groups performed systematic supervised physical activity for 8 weeks from September to October, 2014. Levels of glycosylated hemoglobin were measured before and after the intervention in each group.
Results: Both types of exercise significantly decreased the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin. For the combined exercise group, the results were pre-test: 7.2 % and post-test 6.8 % (-0.34); for the high-intensity interval exercise group: pre-test 7.5 and post-test 7.08 (-0.42) whereas the control group increased their levels of glycosylated hemoglobin: pre-test 8.3 % and post-test 8.42 % (+0.12).
Conclusions: It was observed that high-intensity interval exercise reduce glycosylated hemoglobin in higher proportions, thus becoming a more effective physical activity option for type 2 diabetic patients.
