A comparative study was done where two groups were made, Group A (n=12) received Aerobic exercise and Group B (n=12) received Resistance exercise. Exercise was given for 3 times a week for 16 weeks. Outcome measures were Body Mass Index and Skinfold Caliper.
Aerobic exercise and Resistance exercise both were effective for reducing Body Mass Index in obese with type 2 Diabetes mellitus. But There were significant changes on BMI (p<0.001) in the Aerobic exercise group as compare to Resistance exercise group, But there were no significant changes seen in the skinfold thickness on both the groups.
The study concluded that Aerobic exercise is more effective than Resistance exercise on obese in patients with type 2 DM.
