A large number of adults with type 2 diabetes experience comorbidities that discourage physical activity and hinder regular participation in land-based exercise programs. An aquatic exercise program is an innovative exercise modality that incorporates combined aerobic and resistance exercise. The purpose of this study was to determine if an underwater treadmill walking program featuring gradual and progressive increases in walking speed and duration has a positive effect on glycemic control, metabolic health, cardiovascular function, body composition, and leg strength in middle-aged adults with type 2 diabetes.
大量2型糖尿病成年人患有合并症,这使得他们不愿进行体育活动,并阻碍他们定期参加陆上运动项目。水上运动项目是一种创新的运动方式,结合了有氧和阻力运动。本研究的目的是确定一项以逐渐且逐步增加步行速度和时长为特点的水下跑步机步行项目,对患有2型糖尿病的中年成年人的血糖控制、代谢健康、心血管功能、身体成分和腿部力量是否有积极影响。
