Brief summary

The purposes of the study are * to determine which kind of supervised exercise intervention (aerobic endurance training versus strength endurance training versus combined aerobic endurance and strength endurance training) is more effective in improving the metabolic parameters in typ 2 diabetes patients * to investigate what kind of intervention is more successful in reduction of concomitant diseases and improving quality of life * to assess what kind of intervention induces highest effects in long term persistence of these positive changes

Detailed description

Meta-analyses which evaluated the effects of structured exercise programs in patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrate that regular physical activity improves glycosylated haemoglobin (König et al.: Resistance Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Deutsche Zeitschrift für Sportmedizin Jahrgang 62, Nr. 1 (2011): 5-9). Sigal et al. proved that either aerobic or resistance training alone improved glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, but the improvements are greatest with combined aerobic and resistance training (Sigal, RJ, et al.: Effects of Aerobic Training, Resistance Training, or Both on Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes, Ann Intern Med. 2007 Sep 18;147(6):357-69). Therefore, aim of the current study is to compare the effects of aerobic endurance training or resistance endurance training or the combination of aerobic endurance training and resistance endurance training in diabetes type 2 patients without any other lifestyle or dietary interventions.

Interventions

OTHERAerobic endurance training intervention

The aerobic endurance training group will use cardiovascular training devices week 1-4: 15 minutes warm up (group) 15 minutes intervention at 80-100% vAT two times per week week 5-13: 15 minutes warm up (group) 30 minutes intervention at 95-110% vAT two times per week week 14-26: 15 minutes warm up (group) 45 minutes intervention at 95-110% vAT two times per week

OTHERStrength endurance training intervention

The strength endurance training intervention group will perform eight exercises on weight machines (Milon circuit training- 60 seconds activity, 30 seconds break) week 1-4: 15 minutes warm up (group) 1 session resistance training intensity 3 (Buskies) two times per week week 5-13: 15 minutes warm up (group) 2 sessions resistance training intensity 5 (Buskies) two times per week week 14-26: 15 minutes warm up (group) 3 sessions resistance training intensity 5 (Buskies) two times per week

OTHERCombined aerobic endurance and strength endurance training

week 1-4: 15 minutes warm up (group) 15 minutes intervention at 80-100% vAT once per week and 15 minutes warm up (group) 1 session resistance training intensity 3 (Buskies) once per week week 5-13: 15 minutes warm up (group) 15 minutes intervention at 95-110% vAT and 1 session resistance training intensity 5 (Buskies) two times per week week 14-26: 15 minutes warm up (group) 30 minutes intervention at 95-110% vAT and 1 session resistance training intensity 5 (Buskies) once a week and 15 minutes warm up (group) 15 minutes intervention at 95-110% vAT and 2 sessions resistance training intensity 5 (Buskies) once a week
