Comparision the Effects of High and Average Intensity Combined Training on Levels of Serum Heat Shock Proteins 70 and Glycemic Control in Obese Women with Type 2 Diabetes

In addition to medical and nutritional interventions, exercise is one component in the treatment of type II diabetes. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of high and average intensity combined training on levels of serum heat shock proteins 70 and glycemic control in obese women with type 2 diabetes.
Subjects and In quasi-experimental study, 24 women with type II diabetes and time duration less than 10 years, were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into three groups: high intensity combined training, moderate-intensity combined training and control group. Moderate intensity combined training (resistance training by 50-74 1RM aerobic interval by 50-70 HRR) and high intensity combined training (resistance training by 70-85 1RM aerobic interval by 70-85 HRR) were conducted for12 weeks. t-tests and 2-way ANOVA were used for data analysis (P ≤ 0.05).
The results showed a significant decrease in the levels of Hsp70, HbA1c and insulin resistance in moderate and high intensity combined training groups compared to the control group (P0.05).
The findings of this research demonstrated that combined trainings (resistance-aerobic interval), irrespective of their intensities, are effective on glycemic control and Hsp70 in women with type II diabetes, But the intensity of exercise, is not effective.
