Overview

An 8-week Pilates protocol does not improve respiratory muscle strength in type 2 diabetes; extends evidence of acute HRV modulation during and after exercise.

Structured PICO

Does an 8-week Pilates protocol improve respiratory muscle strength and heart rate variability in patients with type 2 diabetes?

P
Population
44 patients with type 2 diabetes, mean age 61.23 ± 8.49 years, 77.3% female.
I
Intervention
Pilates protocol for 8 weeks, with two visits per week.
C
Comparator
Control group (details not specified).
O
Outcome
Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), and heart rate variability (HRV) in time and frequency domains.surrogate

An 8-week Pilates protocol in patients with type 2 diabetes did not improve respiratory muscle strength but induced acute changes in heart rate variability during and after exercise.
