Abstract
Abstract
Background: Immunity is decreased in diabetic patient and exercise is an important method in decreasing inflamma-tory cytokines and increasing immunity.
Aim of Study: The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of mild exercise versus moderate exercise on inflammatory cytokines in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Subjects and Methods: 40 patients (men and women) diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependant diabetes mellitus) age ranged from 50 to 60 years old. They were selected from medical health insurance clinic in Misr El-Gedida during 2017. Theywere divided into two groups. Group A included 20 patients participated in mild exercise in form of 10 minute walking program 3 times weekly for two months and Group B 20 patients participated in a moderate exercise in form of 10 minute walking program 3 times weekly for two months. Blood sample for measuring inflammatory cy-tokines level (IL1 and IL6) were taken before and after exercise program.
Results: It showed that in most measures that rate of decrease of inflammatory cytokines in group B who partici-pated moderate exercise is greater than Group A who partic-ipated mild exercise.
Conclusion: Participating exercise increases immunity by decreasing rate of inflammatory cytokines in patients with type 2 diabetes. Moderate exercise had a greater effect on decreasing inflammatory cytokines than mild exercise.
