Abstract

Objectives. Test the effects of an endurance training exercise on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, muscle strength and perceived muscle strength. Explore the influence of diet, exercise, medication and manifestations of hypo or hyperglycemia in the blood glucose control of adults with diabetes mellitus type 2, who attended endocrinology clinics at two public hospitals in Monterrey, Mexico. Basic Procedures. A 12-week non equivalent control group design was used. At baseline, the experimental group consisted of 14 participants and the control group 11. The exercise sessions were held twice a week for one hour. All participants had received a verbal recommendation from their physician. Results. The experimental group displayed a significant decrease in HbA1c levels and increases in muscle strength and perceived muscle strength (p < .001). Eight participants out of eleven achieved normal HbA1c values after the intervention. No effect of the co-variables was found. Conclusions. This type of intervention can be of help to control blood glucose levels in adults with diabetes mellitus type 2.
