ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Some studies point out that high-intensity intermittent training exercises combined with drugs may improve the endurance of patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the information concerning blood glucose control still needs to be better evidenced.
Objective:
Explore further the effect of intermittent high-intensity exercise combined with drugs on blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods:
Through a control experiment, 100 patients were selected from volunteers, and divided equally into two groups for this experiment. A protocol with high-intensity intermittent exercise for intervention associated with drug treatment was added to the experimental group, while the control received standard drug treatment.
Results:
The results of each index in the experimental group were: TC pre 4.80±1.00, post 4.56±0.78; TG pre 1.77±1.15, post 1.49±1.16; LDL pre 2.94±0.83, post 2.51±0.73. The experimental results proved that all indices in the experimental group were improved, but the changes in the control group were not evidenced.
Conclusion:
Intermittent high-intensity exercise combined with drugs positively affected blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
