Effects of Exercise Intervention and Rehabilitation Exercise Intervention in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Effects of Exercise Intervention in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes - Strength Endurance Exercise Intervention Versus Combination of Strength Endurance Exercise Intervention and Rehabilitation Exercise Intervention

The purposes of the study are

• to determine if a supervised exercise intervention is improving the metabolic parameters in type 2 diabetes patients
• to investigate what kind of intervention (strength endurance training versus combined strength endurance training and rehabilitation exercise intervention)is more effective in improving the metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes
• to assess which exercise intervention induces higher effects to the metabolic rate and cardiac and pulmonary capacity
• to investigate what kind of intervention includes highest effects in long term persistence of these positive effects

Inclusion Criteria:

• diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (ADA criteria)
• admitted diabetes treatment will be diet and oral hypoglycemic agents

Exclusion Criteria:

• sports intervention > 60 minutes per week
