High-intensity Interval Training Training Protocols on Cardiorespiratory Parameters in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Aim: To assess whether there are different training effects on glucose concentration and cardiorespiratory parameters of different high-intensity training protocols in patients with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a highly prevalent disease associated with cardiovascular disease leading to high levels of mortality, morbidity and health expenditure, characterized by impaired glucose control during activities and reduced aerobic exercise capacity . Exercise training is the most effective way to improve compliance, reduce blood glucose concentration and increase insulin sensitivity. Training increases muscle capacity, oxidative capacity and glucose transport, peripheral insulin sensitivity is improved. Exercise training with high-intensity interval (resting and exercise period) High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a form of exercise training that has recently been widely used in the management of type 2 diabetes, including short duration high intensity exercise periods and lower severity or passive rest periods. There are different HIIT exercise training programs according to physiological responses in the literature. However, long-term and short-term HIIT training training programs were not compared in terms of their effect on glucose concentration and cardiorespiratory fitness. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different HIIT exercise training programs so that exercise programs for patients with type 2 diabetes could be planned more effectively.
