Objective:Type 2 diabetes is associated with impaired respiratory and cardiovascular control. Physical exercise training is a well-established tool in the treatment of diabetes. However, effects of short-term exercise training on respiratory control in diabetes are unknown. Thus, we examined the effects of 4 weeks of exercise training (high intensity interval- and continuous moderate exercise training; HIT and CMT) on cardiorespiratory control and aerobic capacity in type 2 diabetes subjects.
Methods: Fifteen non-insulin dependent subjects with type 2 diabetes (4 female, 11 male, age 59.6 ± 1.5 years, BMI 29.5 ± 1.0 kg/m2, HbA1C 7.0 ± 0.3%) were randomized to either supervised HIT (N=8) or CMT (N= 7), both equalized for the total amount of work, for 3 times a week over 4 weeks. At baseline and follow up, measurements of .. View More»
