Abstract Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate irisin response to continuous versus interval aerobic training in type 2 diabetic patients. Subjects and methods : Thirty type 2 diabetic patients (26 women and 4 men ) , their age ranged from 45 to 60 years with body mass index ranged from class I and class II obesity participated in the study. Patients were selected from the Out-Patient Clinic, Tanta University Hospital. The patients were randomly assigned into two equal groups: group A (Continous Exercise Group) which included 15 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (13 women, 2 men). They participated in 8 weeks program of continous moderate aerobic exercise training (3 sessions per week) and group B (Interval Exercise Group) which included 15 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (13 women, 2 men).They participated in 8 weeks program of interval moderate intensity aerobic exercise training (3 sessions per week). Results: the results of this study in group (A) (Continuous Exercise Group) and group (B) (Interval Exercise Group), showed significant improvement in (FBG, 2hpp, 6MWD and decrease in max HR) and non-significant changes in irisin, spo2 and resting HR after 8 weeks of exercise training. Between groups comparison showed non-significant differences in all variables except in FBG which showed greater improvement in group A than group B. Conclusion: irisin expression is not augmented by aerobic exercise. Glycemic control and functional capacity of type 2 diabetes can be improved by aerobic exercise |
