Brief summary

Nordic walking in water would more advantage than normal daily life in cerebrovascular function and cognitive function in elderly with type 2 diabetes.

Interventions

OTHERNordic walking in water

Nordic walking in water will be based on nordic walking in water at temperature 34◦C. Nordic walking in water will be conducted at moderate intensity (40-60% heart rate reserve). The program was exercised 60 minutes include warm-up and cool down. At first 6 weeks, The exercise intensity was 40-50% heart rate reserve and it will be increased 50-60% heart rate reserve. The training program will be performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks.

This group wasn't receive intervention program. The participants in this group will do following a physician who treat them. They can exercise according to the physician recommend.
