Key result
Low-intensity interval training fails to improve blood sugar vs general training in type 2 diabetes.
Why the study?
Exercise is considered the gold standard for treating type 2 diabetes, but affected individuals still maintain low exercise levels.
Does low intensity interval training improve blood sugar levels and cardiorespiratory fitness compared to general training in patients with type 2 diabetes?
RCT (n=50)
randomized
No
Does low intensity interval training improve blood sugar levels and cardiorespiratory fitness compared to general training in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Both low intensity interval training and general training significantly improve glycemic control and cardiorespiratory parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes, with no significant difference between the two modalities.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an important global health matter which impacts around 382 million individuals globally. Sport workout has been viewed as the "gold standard" for treating type 2 diabetes. However, people with diabetes still has a low level of exercise. The current study's goal is to determine how type 2 diabetes patients' blood sugar levels and cardiorespiratory systems are affected by low intensity interval training. A fifty patients who volunteered to take part in this study were referred by medical professionals and were appearing at an additional session held by the authorities of Al-Hillah City/Babylon at a local medical hospital. They had been diagnosed with diabetes 2 and were between the ages of 40 and 50. Blood seems to be more affected by LIIT.

Hadi et al. (2024) conducted an RCT in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=50). Low intensity interval training (LIIT) vs. General training (50-70% target training intensity, 5-minute intervals) was evaluated on Blood sugar level (p=0.08). Low intensity interval training did not significantly improve post-intervention blood sugar levels compared to general training in patients with type 2 diabetes.
