Abstract
Objective. To evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise versus dietary modification on visceral adiposity indicators in obese postmenopausal diabetic women. Design. A prospective, randomized, controlled comparative study.
Methods. Thirty-six obese postmenopausal women, suffering from type 2 diabetes (T2D), participated in this study. They were randomized into two equal groups. The exercise group received aerobic exercise program for 8 weeks (n = 18), whereas the diet group received dietary modification for 8 weeks (n = 18). The anthropometric parameters, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL) and visceral adiposity indicators were evaluated for all women in the two groups before and following 8 weeks of treatment.
Results. All outcome measures showed statistically significant improvements within both groups (p < 0.05), with statistically non-significant differences between both groups after treatment (p > 0.05).
Conclusion. Aerobic exercise and dietary modification have similar positive effects on visceral adiposity indicators in obese postmenopausal diabetic women.

Abstract
Systematic undertaking of regular, competitive physical exercise is an important component of the treatment of diabetes. Good metabolic control of diabetes is a key element in the effectiveness of physical training and sports success. A person who is active in sports with type 1 diabetes requires very precise insulin dosing as well as extensive knowledge and the ability to interpret metabolic phenomena occurring in the body during physical training. Errors in insulin therapy increase the risk of acute complications of diabetes, hypoglycaemia, ketoacidosis and negatively affect sports performance.

Abstract

Diabetes is a fast becoming one of the most challenging health concerns in the 21st century. Chronic hyperglycemia is the underlying cause of frequent complications such as micro- and macroangiopathy, neuropathy and diabetic foot syndrome. First-line therapy for diabetes includes blood glucose regulation, weight control, self-management, and physical activity. The aim of this article is to highlight the often forgotten fact, that physical therapy forms an integral part of any successful diabetes treatment program. Here, we discuss the recommended guidelines for the use of physical therapy in the treatment of diabetes and diabetes-associated impairments. We examine the benefits and risks associated with this therapy and also evaluate applied kinesiology as potential new treatment.
