Background and Objectives
Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. This study looked at how a structured exercise program could improve health markers in inactive people with prediabetes over 16 weeks.
Study Overview
A 16-week randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Riphah Rehabilitation Center in Lahore, Pakistan. It involved 126 prediabetic participants divided into three groups: control, unsupervised exercise, and supervised exercise. After the intervention, 36 participants completed the study in each group.
Exercise Program
Both the supervised and unsupervised groups followed an exercise manual that included dietary guidelines and routines for aerobic and resistance exercises.
Results
The results showed that the supervised group had significant improvements in:
- Insulin Sensitivity: Better than unsupervised and control groups.
- Blood Sugar Control: HbA1c levels improved more in the supervised group.
- Lipid Profiles: Better triglyceride and LDL levels compared to the other groups.
These improvements suggest that structured exercise can effectively help manage prediabetes and prevent its progression to type 2 diabetes.
Conclusions
This study highlights the importance of regular physical activity for individuals with prediabetes. Supervised exercise programs are particularly beneficial in improving health markers and encouraging adherence to lifestyle changes.
