Impact of a 12-week calisthenic exercise regimen on glycaemic regulation and cardiovascular endurance in individuals with type 2 diabetes Mellitus. A randomized controlled trail

Total of 40 participants who met the inclusion criteria, ages between 30-75 years, 20 subjects in each interventional and control group were assigned. Result of the study indicate that the intervention group exhibited noteworthy enhancements in HbA1c (9.60 ± 1.25-6.54 ± 0.92, p < 0.001), body mass index (BMI) (26.51 ± 3.45-24.45 ± 2.98, p = 0.007), systolic blood pressure (136.38 ± 15.32-116.29 ± 12.47 mmHg, p < 0.001), and six-minutes' walk distance (400.00 ± 48.60 m to 517.14 ± 56.12 m, p < 0.001). The results of this study indicate that structured calisthenic exercise is an efficient, low-cost, and easily accessible method for enhancing glycemic control and cardiovascular fitness in patients who have type 2 diabetes.
