Abstract
&& Objective:& We aimed to evaluate the effects of a supervised aerobic exercise therapy on quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Material& and& Methods: ThirtyIone patients with type 2 DM (8 male/23 female; aged between 42 and 65 years) who had hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels between 7.5% and 9.5% were included in the study. Anthropometric measurements (height, body weight, body fat percentage, body fat mass and body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference) and cardiopulmonary exercise tests were performed before and after the study. The patients undertook a 12Iweek aerobic training program that included aerobicItype walking and/or cycling 3 days a week. All patients were asked to complete the Turkish version of the 36IItem Short Form (SFI36) Health Survey before and after the training program. SFI36 is a commonly used questionnaire that was designed to measure life quality of patients who have physical illnesses Results: We detected significant improvements in all subscales of the SFI36 questionnaire. The emotional role limitation score showed a less significant reduction (p=0.049) compared with the other subscales. The anthropometric values were also improved significantly after the 12Iweek aerobic training program (p<0.05). Conclusion: We observed that a supervised regular aerobic exercise program used in this study had a positive effect on the quality of life in individuals with type 2 DM in our study. Therefore, it might be a beneficial strategy to encourage patients with type 2 DM to do regular exercise during the management of their disease in order to overcome the mental, social, and physical difficulties.
