Efeito de 8 sessões de treinamento funcional na pressão arterial e glicemia capilar de pessoas com diabetes tipo II

Abstract

The objective of the study was to verify the effects of 8 sessions of functional training in the control of blood pressure and capillary blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes. The method used in the research was transversal and quasi-experimental. The sample selection was performed using the convenience sampling technique in participants of the Saúde Mais Doce Extension Project, in Tocantinópolis TO. Composed of 8 people with type 2 diabetes, all female, with a mean age of 66.5 ± 5.39 years. Before and after the 8 intervention sessions with functional training, metabolic, inotropic and cardiovascular variables were measured: capillary blood glucose, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1). Functional physical exercise sessions took place on two non-consecutive days a week (Tuesday and Thursday), lasting 60 minutes; with warm up, circuit with the following exercises; Squats, Functional Ladder, Side Raises, Sit and Stand, and Sit-ups and cool down with stretches. To assess the effects of the training sessions, the Student t test for a single sample was performed and they were tested for normality with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The results obtained were: fasting

capillary blood glucose, pre-test mean = 241.00 mg/dL and post-test = 239.66 mg/dL; HR pre- test = 75.94 bpm and post-test = 75.71 bpm; pre-test SBP=124.88 mmHg and post-test=115.75

mmHg; pre-test DBP=73.98 mmHg and post-test=69.18 mmHg; Mean HbA1 pre-test = 10.05 and post-test = 10.12. With this result, the functional exercise with an accumulation of 8 sessions had no effect on the analyzed variables. Therefore, it is concluded that people with type 2 diabetes participating in a functional training program with an accumulation of 8 sessions did not reduce the metabolic and cardiovascular variables in a statistically significant way.
