Introduction: Diabetes is one of the most important health problems in the world, and controlling its risk factors and complications is very important. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of interval training on inflammatory markers among type II diabetic patients.
Methods: in this randomized controlled trial 30 eligible patients randomly allocated to one of two parallel groups. Fifteen patients received interval training exercise with 18 sessions (three sessions per week), and fifteen patients in control group had usual physical activity. The primary outcome was measured before and after the intervention.
Results: Interleukin-10 levels were significantly reduced (reduction: 0.96 pg/ml) in patients in the intervention group and increased (0.35 pg/ml) in control group, and this difference was statistically significantly between group (p: 0.015). The levels of interleukin-6 and CRP in the pre- and post-measurement measurements of the two groups did not show a significant difference (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Interval training exercise can be effective in reducing some inflammatory factors, and given that these factors affect the course of the disease and complications associated with diabetes, the use of this type of exercise can be useful for controlling the disease and its complications. More investigation in interval training exercise and its effects on various inflammatory factors are required.
