Key result
Aerobic exercise significantly improved exercise tolerance, measured by the 6-minute walk test, compared to general mobilisation exercises in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P=0.03).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to compare the effects of general mobilisation exercises versus aerobic exercises on exercise tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aerobic exercise significantly improves exercise tolerance compared to general mobilisation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, potentially aiding in cardiovascular risk reduction.
Aerobic exercise was associated with better tolerance in type 2 diabetes; leaves open optimal regimens pending higher-level trials.
The objective of the study was to compare general mobilisation exercises with aerobic exercises on exercise tolerance in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thirty type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects of both the genders in age-group between 35 and 60 years were divided into 2 groups (A and B) and were subjected to a 6-minute walk test pre- and post-training exercise. Group A participants were subjected to general mobilisation exercises and group B to aerobic exercises. The six-minute walk test between the two groups (A and B) was statistically different at P =0.03. Our study showed a significant difference in improvement of exercise tolerance in Group-B subjects, who underwent aerobic exercise. In conclusion, aerobic exercise is a better health intervention in the improvement of exercise tolerance among type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects, which could improve their cardio-respiratory fitness and thereby prevent further cardiovascular complications and improve their well-being.

Chandrashekaran et al. (2021) conducted an RCT in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=30). Aerobic exercises vs. General mobilisation exercises was evaluated on Exercise tolerance (6-minute walk test) (p=0.03). Aerobic exercise significantly improved exercise tolerance, measured by the 6-minute walk test, compared to general mobilisation exercises in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P=0.03).
