Brief summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of high intensity interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise on some genetic molecules in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Detailed description

Volunteers with type 2 diabetes mellitus will be evaluated in terms of any contra-indication that will restrain them from making exercise. 90 male or female volunteers who are suitable in terms of inclusion/exclusion criteria will be invited for the study. Volunteers will be randomly distributed to one of the 3 groups. Each group will contain 30 participants. 1. group will make aerobic exercise which is in the form of high intensity interval exercise 2.group will make aerobic exercise which is in the form of moderate intensity continuous exercise 3. Control group. Exercise groups will be cycling under observation in the hospital setting. Control group will make simple stretching exercises at home. Participants will be requested to complete a 3 months of exercise. They will be evaluated before and at the end of the 3 months of exercise with blood tests to measure genetic molecules related with metabolism.
