Effects of Eccentric Training on Glycemic Control and Quality of Life in Patients With Type II Diabetes Mellitus

Overview

Diabetes is defined by the level of hyperglycemia its a metabolic chronic disorder that furthur lead to life threatning medical conditions however, the prevalence of diabetes is rapidly increasing day by day in both developed and developing countries making it global pandemic and type II is more prevalent. Life dependency is increased due to long term effects of diabetes in specifically older individuals. Physical activity and exercise improves glucose tolerance and also reduces other life threatening diabetic complications, improving the quality of life in diabetic population.

Diabetes is a metabolic chronic disorder and its becoming a global pandemic and its prevalence rises quickly in both developed and developing countries.Diabetes confirmation is done through levels of hyperglycemia. According to American Diabetic Association level of HBA1C is greater than 6.4 % indicate presence of diabetes.Type II is more prevalent and its deteriorting effect on body with increasing age are more pronounced.Insuline resistance and impaired glucose tolerance are seen in type II diabetes mellitus patients. Studies depict that regular exercise improve glycemic control and improve insuline sensitivity and enhance glucose uptake by muscles. Strength training enhance quality of life and protect your joints from injury. Previous studies have specified the impact of several types of training on older adults, young healthy adults and diabetic patients but there is limited literature found in terms of solely observing the effect of eccentric training on glycemic control and quality of life in diabetic patient. Current study was designed to determine the effects of eccentric training on glycemic control and quality of life in type II diabetes Mellitus.
