Abstract :
Nowadays, obesity is one of the biggest challenges and struggles that the public health faces, which is one of the key reasons for the occurrence of many diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Hence, the purpose of this review study is to investigate the effect of various exercise trainings along with spirulina supplementation on weight loss in type 2 diabetes. For this purpose, the keywords "Spirulina" in combination with "Aerobic exercise", "Resistance exercise", "Intense intermittent training" and "Type 2 diabetes" were searched for persian articles. The keywords used to search for foreign articles were "Spirulina" and "Type 2 diabetes" in combination with "High-intensity interval training", "Aerobic training" and "Resistance training". Which were searched in reliable databases such as Sid.ir, Magiran.com, Google scholar and Mega paper from 2001 to 2023. The results indicate that aerobic exercises with spirulina supplementation have led to a decrease in resistin levels, improvement in lipid profile and metabolic status. Also, resistance training along with spirulina supplement leads to increase in irisin levels, decrease in lipocalin-2, decrease in low-density lipoproteins, weight loss, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) along with this supplement reduces muscle atrophy and lost weight. Therefore, to control or prevent type 2 diabetes, spirulina supplement can be used along with exercise trainings.
