(1) Background: The primary goal of this study was to assess the effect of sand walking on Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, and quality of life among individuals with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). (2) Methods: A randomized-controlled design was conducted on 66 overweight participants suffering from T2DM. Participants were randomly allocated to sand walking (SW) ( = 33) and normal walking (NW) ( = 33) groups. Participants performed moderate-intensity walking for 30 min, 3 times a week for 4 months. Participants walking on sand had statistically significant mean scores for HbA1c, BMI, waist circumference and quality of life((M = 7.32, SD = 0.47),(M = 25.77, SD = 1.366),(M = 92.94, SD = 2.59), (M = 91.48, SD = 34.08)) than those walking on leveled surface ((M = 8.38, SD = 0.77),t(52.8) = -6.73, = 0.003, (M = 26.80, SD = 1.38), t(64) = -3.05, = 0.001,(M = 98.12, SD = 2.16.3), t(64) = -3.75, = 0.001, (M = 112, SD = 33.7), t(64) = -2.45, = 0.017)respectively. (3) Conclusions: Regular SW with a healthy dietary regime for 4 months led to a statistically significant difference in HbA1c, BMI, waist circumference, and quality of life as compared to NW group.
(1)背景:本研究的主要目的是评估沙地行走对2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、体重指数(BMI)、腰围和生活质量的影响。(2)方法:对66名超重的T2DM患者进行随机对照设计。参与者被随机分为沙地行走(SW)组(n = 33)和正常行走(NW)组(n = 33)。参与者进行中等强度的行走,每周3次,每次30分钟,共4个月。与在平坦地面行走的参与者相比,在沙地行走的参与者在HbA1c、BMI、腰围和生活质量方面的平均得分具有统计学意义((M = 7.32,SD = 0.47),(M = 25.77,SD = 1.366),(M = 92.94,SD = 2.59),(M = 91.48,SD = 34.08)),而在平坦地面行走的参与者相应数据为((M = 8.38,SD = 0.77),t(52.8) = -6.73,p = 0.003,(M = 26.80,SD = 1.38),t(64) = -3.05,p = 0.001,(M = 98.12,SD = 2.16.3),t(64) = -3.75,p = 0.001,(M = 112,SD = 33.7),t(64) = -2.45,p = 0.017)。(3)结论:与NW组相比,为期4个月的规律沙地行走并搭配健康饮食方案,在HbA1c、BMI、腰围和生活质量方面产生了具有统计学意义的差异。
