Estudo comparativo entre pilates no solo e pilates na água sobre a glicemia de indivíduos portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 2

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DM2) is characterized by elevated blood glucose caused by the inefficient action of insulin, a factor that can be modified with the regular practice of physical exercises for mild to moderate intensity. The goal of this research was to compare the effect of the mat pilates method and water pilates on glycemia in individuals with DM2. The study was composed of nine volunteers with a mean age of 62,9±7,5 years, practicing regular physical exercise. The measurements of glucose and blood pressure were taken 30min after eating a cereal bar light, intermediate at 15min of the session, immediately after and 15min of recovery. The exercise duration was 30min and fractionated accommodated in 5min of heating, 20min of exercise and 5 minutes of relaxation. Statistical analysis were found significant results in reducing blood glucose when a comparison between the time postprandial and 15min recovery session MP and WP (p <0.001), and has shown a much more evident in WP session of 15min intermediaries at the time of recovery, showing the reduction in blood glucose as mean ± 51mg/dL.
