THE EFFECTS OF ENDURANCE EXERCISE ON BLOOD GLUCOSE, INSULIN AND INSULIN RESISTANCE IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE II DIABETES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF STUDIES IN IRAN

There are many research have been done so far about the effect of exercise training on diabetic type 2 related risk factors. But in this regard there is no study performed in Iran. So, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of endurance exercise training on some diabetic type 2 dependent variables in the form of systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that were performed in Iran.
In this research PubMed, Embase, Cochran, Scopus, ISI, Google Scholar, Science direct, Sid and Magiran databases were searched for Persian sources. Data analysis were done using STATA software version 12.0.
Generally, 242 articles were founded in primary search, which 24 articles were included in this research. Finally research were evaluated 592 Iranian's peoples which 294 peoples as a control group (96 male and 198 women) and 298 peoples as a training group (97 male and 201 women).The results indicate that there were significant association between endurance exercise and blood glucose levels (P=0.0001,-1.016,-0.656;95%CI), insulin (P=0.0001,-1.042,-0.682;95%CI), insulin resistance (P=0.0001;-0.563,-0.217;95%CI).
Generally, this systematic review and meta-analysis study was demonstrated endurance exercise could be related with decrease diabetes type 2 related risk factors. So, it is recommended that sport and medicine experts use endurance exercise as a non- pharmacological intervention for treatment of diabetes type 2 patients.
