Abstract :
Introduction and purpose: In this study, the effect of 10 months of CXWorks (CX) training on some indicators of diabetes in obese prediabetic women was measured.Materials and methods: The statistical sample is 24 obese peri-diabetic women who were randomly divided into two CX and control groups. The CX group participated in a 10-week CX training program with 3 sessions per week, and the control group was prohibited from participating in any sports activities. Fasting levels of glucose, insulin, insulin sensitivity and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and anthropometric indices were measured in both groups before and after the training period. Fasting blood samples were also taken before and 48 hours after the last training session with the aim of measuring dependent variables in both groups.Results: 10 weeks of CX training led to a significant decrease in glucose, insulin and glycosylated hemoglobin and a significant increase in insulin sensitivity in obese pre-diabetic women compared to the control group. CX training also did not result in a significant decrease in body fat percentage compared to the control group.Conclusion: The implementation of CX exercises as one of the new methods of resistance training is associated with the improvement of diabetes indicators in obese pre-diabetic women. Therefore, it is suggested to perform such exercises for a relatively long period with the aim of improving the glycemic profile
