Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of endurance, resistance and combined exercises on the serum levels of GDF11 and some sugar indices in type 2 diabetic men.
methodology; The subjects included 48 men with type 2 diabetes with an age range of 60.66 ± 3.44 (years), weight 87.47 ± 6.67 (kg), height 1.57 ± 0.11 (meters),, were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into three experimental groups (12 people) and a control group (12 people). The experimental group performed endurance, resistance and combined exercises for eight weeks (3 sessions per week) and the control group did not exercise during this period. In order to measure research variables, blood sampling was done 48 hours before the start of the first training session and also 48 hours after the last training session while all subjects were fasting. Also, ELISA method was used to measure GDF11 serum levels and fasting glucose. To analyze the data, statistical tests of one-way analysis of variance, Tukey's post hoc test, t-correlation test, and Shapiro-Wilk test were used to normalize the data at a significance level of 0.05, with SPSS version 22 software.
findings; The results of the present study showed that eight weeks of endurance, resistance and combined training increased serum levels of GDF11 and decreased fasting glucose. Also, the statistical results showed that the combined exercises had a greater effect on the research variables and had a greater effect on the changes of the research variables than the resistance and endurance exercises.
