This study compares the functional capacity and handgrip strength of older women with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) who practiced physical exercises.
Twenty-six older women who practiced physical exercises participated in the study (13 with T2D - DM; 13 without T2D - CON). Functional capacity and handgrip strength were assessed.
The groups were similar in age. Regarding functional capacity, there were no significant differences between the groups in any of the tests performed (p > 0.05): chair stand (rep); arm curl (rep); chair sit and reach (cm); 8-foot up-and-go (sec); back scratch (cm) and 6-min walk (m). There was also no difference in handgrip strength (kg) between groups (p > 0.05).
The functional capacity and handgrip strength of older women with T2D who practice exercise seems similar to that of older women without the disease who practice regular exercise.
本研究比较了患有 2 型糖尿病（T2D）和不患有 2 型糖尿病（T2D）的老年女性锻炼者的功能能力和握力。
26 名锻炼的老年女性参加了这项研究（13 名患有 T2D-DM；13 名不患有 T2D-CON）。评估了功能能力和握力。
两组年龄相似。关于功能能力，在进行的任何测试中，两组之间均无显著差异（p＞0.05）：椅站（rep）；手臂卷曲（rep）；坐椅伸手触及距离（cm）；8 英尺起身行走（sec）；背部抓挠（cm）和 6 分钟步行（m）。两组之间的握力（kg）也没有差异（p＞0.05）。
患有 T2D 并进行锻炼的老年女性的功能能力和握力似乎与进行常规锻炼的不患有该疾病的老年女性相似。
