Lack of time is often cited by persons with type 2 diabetes for non-participation in regular exercise. This highlights the need to explores ways to help persons with type 2 diabetes to engage in an active lifestyle. This study evaluated the effect of a short duration norm intensity exercise on blood glucose and blood pressure in persons with type 2 diabetes.
Twenty persons with type 2 diabetes were randomly assigned to either training group (n = 10) or control group (n = 10). The training group received 4-weeks ambulatory training on a motor-driven treadmill (2 x 20 min per week at 60% target heart rate). The control group received no training. Blood glucose, and systolic and diastolic blood pressures were assessed before and after the 4-weeks training. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to examine training effect.
Training significantly improved blood glucose (mean difference = -2.73; p = 0.03). No effects were found for systolic blood pressure (mean difference = -0.30; p = 0.96) and diastolic blood pressure (mean difference = -0.90; p = 0.82).
Training improved blood glucose but not blood pressure. A short-duration ambulatory training is an appropriate exercise mode to elicit beneficial effect, and exercise adoption in persons with type 2 diabetes.

2 型糖尿病患者常因缺乏时间而不参加规律运动。这凸显了需要探索帮助 2 型糖尿病患者养成积极生活方式的方法。本研究评估了短时间、中等强度运动对 2 型糖尿病患者血糖和血压的影响。
20 名 2 型糖尿病患者被随机分为训练组（n=10）或对照组（n=10）。训练组接受为期 4 周的电动跑步机步行训练（每周 2 次，每次 20 分钟，目标心率为 60%）。对照组未接受训练。在 4 周训练前后评估血糖、收缩压和舒张压。采用重复测量方差分析来检验训练效果。
训练显著改善了血糖（平均差异=-2.73；p=0.03）。收缩压（平均差异=-0.30；p=0.96）和舒张压（平均差异=-0.90；p=0.82）无变化。
训练可改善血糖，但不能改善血压。短时间的有氧运动是一种诱发有益效果的合适运动方式，可促进 2 型糖尿病患者进行运动。
