Determine the effect of eight weeks of resistance training on some oxidative / antioxidant indices of middle-aged women with type 2 diabetes

According to the importance of regular and regular exercise in the control and prevention of diabetes complications, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of eight weeks of resistance training on some oxidative/ antioxidant characteristics of middle-aged women with type 2 diabetes.

In this quasi-experimental study, the sample of women with type 2 diabetes was overweight with an age range of 40-55 years. In this study, 20 women with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Khorramabad city were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The initial levels of blood tests were taken 48 hours before the initial blood sample was taken. After centrifugation, the three variables MDA, SOD and GPX were measured using Pars Test kits. Forty-eight hours after the last training session anthropometric and laboratory measurements were performed again. In the experimental group, the resistance training program for 8 weeks, every week three sessions each session was completed for 2 hours.

After eight weeks of resistance training, a significant increase was observed in the SOD and GPX levels in the experimental group (p < 0.05). however, there was no significant difference in the control group in the post-test MDA compared to the pre-test Significantly (p < 0.05), this difference was not significant in the experimental group.

Based on the results, it is suggested that resistance training can have preventive effects on some oxidative / antioxidant indices in women with diabetes.
