Effects of eight weeks aerobic interval training on serum vaspin level in type 2 diabetic women

Diabetes is associated with many metabolic disorders such as changes in adipokines (e.g. vaspin). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks aerobic interval training on serum levels of vaspin in women with type 2 diabetes.
In this quasi-experimental study the women with a history of type 2 diabetes (n=18) were randomly selected and divided into two Experimental (n=9) and Control (n=9) groups. Training protocol was an eight-week exercise, 3 times per week. Using ELISA serum vaspin concentrations were measured 48 hours before and after the training protocol. Data analysis were done using dependent and independent t-tests.
Results showed no significant difference in vaspin serum after 8 weeks of aerobic interval training compared to Control group. Insulin resistance, weight and BMI were significantly decreased after training compared to the Control group (P According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that 8 weeks of aerobic interval training had no effect on vaspin level in diabetic patients. Considering the results of this study and the importance of changes in the vaspin level, it seems that for taking effective results aerobic interval training should be down for a longer time.
