Abstract
Introduction: Physical activity ‘as a very important part of a healthy lifestyle, is entangled with the therapeutic management of type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of eight weeks of personalized alternate sprint and combined exercise training on blood level of glycosylated hemoglobin A1C and insulin resistance in women with type 2 diabetes.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, fifty-two female patients with type 2 diabetic were assigned to three groups; sprint interval training SIT, combined training and control group according to the HbA1c levels. The combined Group  received alternatively 2 sessions per week of endurance training with 70% of one repetition maximum and aerobic exercise training with 60% -70% of maximum heart rate and 1 session per week of only aerobic exercise training. The SIT group received 3 sessions per week of 4-10 reps 30-second Wingate test on the ergometer with maximum effort. Fasting blood glucose, serum insulin and HbA1c levels were then measured. Data analyzing was performed using dependent t-test and covariance and LSD method.
Results: The findings of this stusy showed that while the HbA1c concentrations reduced significantly in both SIT (p=0.002) and combined groups (p=0.006), serum insulin levels had a significant increase  in these two groups;  p<0.001) and pConclusion: Results indicated that individualized exercise training courses may have a positive   effect on bodily structure and blood glucose control in women with type 2 diabetes.
