摘要：The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of 6 months of aqua aerobic exercise in obese patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus. A total of 24 adults (mean age 56.12±6.27 years; 12 men mean age 55.83±3.37 years and women mean age 56.41±8.41 years) with diet controlled or oral hypoglycemic medications controlled type 2 diabetes, were recruited. Exercise sessions were supervised by a certified exercise trainer three times per week for a period of six months. Testing was done three times: initial testing, testing after 3 months (transitive testing) and final testing after 6 months. Statistically significant differences were determined between the first and the second trial in HbA1c (HbA1c decreased 4.28%, p decreased 7.03%, p third trial the decrease in HbA1c was the lowest (2.87%, p trials were also determined for the values of total cholesterol and HDL and LDL cholesterol and body weight. Statistically significant and linear decrease was found for the values of blood glucose between before training values of glucose and the values of glucose after training. In conclusion, this study showed that aqua aerobic training has a positive effect on glycemic control, body weight and lipid profile among patients with type II diabetes mellitus.
