Abstract :

Purpose:The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of resistance training and ginger supplementation on the serum glucose level of women with type 2 diabetes. For this purpose, among women with type 2 diabetes in Yazd city, 48 people with an age range of 25-60 years were randomly divided into 4 groups of 12 people (control, exercise, supplement, exercise and supplement).The training schedule of each training session is 60 minutes, including warm-up (10 minutes of soft running, stretching and kinetic movements), resistance exercises with gym equipment (40 minutes) and cooling down (10 minutes of flexibility and stretching movements), supplementary group (every day 1600 mg of ginger rhizome powder or placebo (1 capsule of 800 mg before lunch and 1 capsule of 800 mg before dinner) and the exercise and supplement group did both. The samples were taken 24 hours before the start of the exercise in a fasting state at 10- Blood was taken at 8 am. After the end of 8 weeks, blood was taken again 24 hours after the end of the training program. To analyze the data, Kalmogorov-Smirnov test was used to determine the normality of the data, then the dependent T test to compare the results within the group and the variance analysis test. The method was used to examine the results between groups. Findings:The results of the research showed that a period of resistance training alone and combined with the use of supplements significantly improves the serum glucose levels of women with type II diabetes, but the use of ginger supplements has no effect on the women's serum glucose levels. Does not have type II diabetes.Conclusion: The results showed that a period of resistance training alone and along with the ginger supplement reduces the serum glucose level of patients with type II diabetes.
