Summary

This study evaluates the effects of the combined exercise training (aerobic more resistance) and of the aerobic exercise training isolated compared to control group, which performed only stretching and relaxation, in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The two exercise interventions and the control procedure are performed in aquatic environment.

Detailed description

The fact that aquatic training can provide similar benefits to land training has important clinical implications, because the aquatic environment provides some interesting advantages to this population, such as no impact on walking and running in deep water or reduced, as in water-based exercises. This minor impact and consequent reduced chance of injury allows consider the aquatic environment favorable to the principle of continuity with progression of physiological stimuli and metabolic benefits. From these peculiarities of the training in aquatic environment, and of the association between T2DM with obesity and hypertension, conditions that create difficulties for individuals performing exercise supporting their own body mass and need both benefits from aerobic and resistance training, is believed to be necessary to carry out physical training programs of the same duration, differing in training mode (aerobic or combined) in the aquatic environment in order to answer of in a adequated duration of training, the diabetes control through training differs between the different mode of exercise.

Conditions

• Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Aerobic training	Total duration of exercise sessions: 56 minutes (3 minutes of warming - 50 minutes of main part - 3 minutes of stretching); Method of training: Aerobic continuous in aquatic environment; Modality: Hydrogymnastics; Weekly frequency: 3; Intensity: 85% to 100% of the anaerobic threshold during the intervention.
OTHER	Combined training	Total duration of exercise sessions: 56 minutes (3 minutes of warming - 50 minutes of main part - 3 minutes of stretching); Method of training: Aerobic more resistance training. Aerobic component (between 30 and 40 minutes of the sessions): Method: Aerobic continuous in aquatic environment; Modality: Hydrogymnastics; Weekly frequency: 3; Intensity: 85% to 100% of the anaerobic threshold during the intervention. Resistance component (Between 10 and 20 minutes of the sessions): Method: Multiple sets (2 to 4 sets of 30 to 15 seconds) in aquatic environment; Modality: Hydrogymnastics; Weekly frequency: 3; Intensity: Maximum execution speed.
OTHER	Training placebo	Total duration of exercise sessions: 56 minutes (3 minutes of warming - 50 minutes of main part - 3 minutes of stretching); Activities performed in main part: Stretching and relaxation in aquatic environment.
