ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogenous group of different metabolic disorders, characterized by chronic increase of blood glucose and proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. In this semi-experimental investigation, 17 women patients with type 2 diabetes from the clinic of the Arak Petroleum Company were selected and divided into two groups the strengthening [9 persons] and the controls [8 persons]. The strengthening group performed selected exercises for 8 weeks [3 sessions/week and 30-50 min/session]. In this investigation we assessed metabolic factors [total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, VLDL, LDL, FBS, HbA1c and Insulin Serum] and compared SF-36 and GHQ questionnaires. Data analyses was performed with SPSS.12 and we used of the paired samples T test. Confidence level was considered at 95% [P<0.05]. There were significant differences between means of pre-test and post-test measures of TC, FBS, HbA1C, insulin serum, quality of life [QOL] and mental health [MH] of the strengthening group, but no significant differences were found between means of pre-test and post-test measures of HDL, LDL, VLDL and triglycerides in the strengthening group and factors of control group [P<0.05]. It seems that strengthening exercises are an effective treatment for metabolic factors, QOL and MH in type 2 diabetic patients, and lead to improvement in the patient's status
