The effect of ۱۰-week aerobic training with and without ginger supplementation on aerobic power, BFP, and insulin resistance in obese middle-aged women with type ۲ diabetes

Background and aims: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder associated with diseases. The use of supplements, herbal extracts, and exercise training for the treatment of diseases and metabolic disorders has increased among people. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ۱۰-week aerobic training with and without ginger supplementation on aerobic power, BFP, and insulin resistance in obese middle-aged women with type ۲ diabetes.Methods: In this study, ۴۶ obese diabetic women (BMI > ۳۰, blood fasting sugar more than ۱۵۰-۲۵۰ mg/dL, ۴۵-۶۰ years old) were selected and randomly assigned into four groups, ginger (n=۱۲), aerobic exercise training + ginger (n=۱۲), aerobic exercise training (n=۱۲) and control (n=۱۰). Participants in supplementary groups received four ۲۵۰ mg capsules ginger extract ۱۰۰۰ mg daily for ۱۰ weeks. Aerobic training program included ۱۰ weeks of training, ۳ sessions per week and each session was ۶۰ minutes at ۵۵% maximum heart rate during the first week and gradually increased with the progress of the training program to ۷۵ percent of maximum heart rate.Results: After ۱۰ weeks, significant difference was observed in weight, BMI, body composition, VO۲max, Insulin, fasting glucose and insulin resistance (P<۰.۰۵). In the within group changes was observed significant decrease in insulin levels and insulin resistance was in the aerobic exercise training + ginger group (P<۰.۰۵).Conclusion: According to obtained results, it appears that aerobic training plus ginger extract consumption have better effect on insulin levels and insulin resistance in obese middle-aged women with type ۲ diabetes.
