Research On "Minimal Effective Exercise Duration" For Type 2 Diabetic Patients

"Minimal Effective Exercise Duration" for type 2 diabetic patients was discussed and its effects were observed in this research. Methods: 15 diabetic patients were randomly selected and divided into two groups: exercise group (N=8) and control group (N=7). Both groups took part in exercise testing before experiment. Subjects of exercise group did exercise by exercise prescription for 5 weeks and subjects of control group weren't request to do exercise. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, percentile body lip, and heart rate during exercise were checked before and after experiment. Results: After 5 weeks, there was no significant change in FBG of exercise group (P>0.05) and comparison of FBG between exercise group and control group was no significant difference (P>0.05). TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and percentile body lip of exercise group did not alter obviously after experiment. When exercise group compared with control group, we can find out that blood lipids and percentile body lip was no significant difference (P>0.05). After 5 weeks, both groups had exercise again, the results showed that heart rate during exercise was significantly decrease in exercise group (P<0.05). Comparison of heart rate during exercise between exercise group and control group was no significant difference (P=0.055). For exercise group, exercise duration which suggested in exercise prescription was decrease significantly (P<0.05) if compared with before. Conclusion: (1) "Minimal Effective Exercise Duration" exercise can control blood glucose of diabetic subjects effectively. This exercise also can maintain their blood lipids and percentile body lip like before. (2) "Minimal Effective Exercise Duration" exercise can decrease heart rate during exercise of diabetic subjects. (3) Before this research, the average exercise duration is 61.25 minutes and in exercise prescription, the average exercise duration of exercise group is 33.13 minutes. The results showed that exercise duration should be taken by diabetic subjects were shorter than before.
