Document Type : original article

Abstract



Background: The aim of the present study is the effect of 12 weeks of yoga selected exercises on fasting
glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin and lipid profile in premenopausal women with diabetes type 2.
Methodology: Thirty females with diabetes type 2 and a mean age of (46/8±3/3 years), weight (69/7±17/1
kg), height (155/0±5/0 cm), BMI (29/6±5/0 kg per square meter) and with 6/4±2/6 years of illness were
selected based on specific criteria in research and were divided in two groups of yoga practice (n=15) and
control group (n=12). Experimental group’ exercise program lasted for 12 weeks, three sessions per week and
each session 90 minutes. Fasting glucose levels (FBS), Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), triglyceride (TG),
lipoprotein with high density (HDL-C), lipoprotein with low-density (LDL-C), lipoprotein with very low
density (VLDL) and total cholesterol of the participants were measured 48 hours before the exercise and 48
hours after the exercise protocol. Results: This results of the study showed that yoga practice for 12 weeks
significantly decreased fasting glucose concentration (p=0/000), Glycosylated hemoglobin (p=0.034), LDL
(p=0/009), VLDL (p=0/027) and significantly increased in the concentration of HDL (p=0/003) in females
with diabetes type 2. Conclusion: 12-weeks yoga exercise improves glucose levels, Glycosylated hemoglobin
and HDL, LDL and VLDL of the blood and probably the period of practice in these patients should be
increased for a greater impact on triglycerides and total cholesterol.
