Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide and associated with various conditions, including non-modifiable and modifiable risk factors.Exercise is a front-line intervention for the prevention and treatment of a large range of chronic diseases, including type-2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of continuous training and Iso-volume Interval training on BMI & insulin resistance after 8 weeks among women with type 2 diabetes.

30 diabetic women aged 35-55 years were voluntarily selected and randomly devided into 3 groups of continuous (CT), Iso-volume Interval (IT) and control (C) (n=10). CS performed running protocol starting with 10 min at 65-75% maximum heart rate and increased for 2 min every week, 3 sessions in week for 8 weeks. IT performed a protocol similar to CT group but there was an active rest period between every 2 min of running for 30 sec. C group didn’t participate in any training during study. Before training and 48 h after the last training bout, fasting blood sugar & fasting insulin levels measured. Also height and weight measured and put in formula to get BMI.

The results showed insulin resistance was reduced between CT and IT groups but not in C group (P<0/05). Also BMI in both training groups was significantly decreased (P<0/05).

Our finding indicate both continuous training and Iso-volume Interval training can regulate fasting blood sugar & fasting insulin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes but it seems that iso-volume Interval training tend to be more effective because of training intensity.
