Abstract

Objective

Lipid distribution plays a crucial role in glucose metabolism, and this study aimed to investigate the effects of 12 weeks traditional Chinese YiJinJing exercise on specific lipid distributions in patients with prediabetes.

Methods

Sixty participants with prediabetes were randomly allocated to either a control group (Con, n = 30) or an exercise group (Ex, n = 30). The Ex group underwent YiJinJing exercise plus Theraband, engaging in 1-h sessions, 3 times per week, over a total period of 12 weeks. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to measure lipid distribution in different body segments and organs. Additionally, a body composition analyser was employed to measure visceral fat, and laboratory tests were conducted to measure indicators related to glycolipid metabolism.

Results

Following a 12-week intervention with Exercise, 37 % of prediabetic patients in the Ex group achieved normal blood glucose levels. Significant reductions were observed in upper limb fat (ULF), trunk fat (TrF) and liver fat (LF) values in the Ex group compared to the Con group. Additionally, within the Ex group, there were notable decreases in triglyceride (TG) levels, body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR), android fat (AF), ULF, thigh fat (ThF), renal sinus fat (RSF), and LF compared to baseline.

Conclusions

Traditional Chinese YiJinJing plus TheraBand exercise can significantly reduce blood glucose levels through improved lipid distribution and metabolism in prediabetic patients. Hence, YiJinJing can serve as a crucial intervention for individuals with prediabetes.

改善糖尿病前期患者的血脂分布--为期 12 周的中国传统易筋经运动加 TheraBand 的效果：随机对照试验

方法将 60 名糖尿病前期患者随机分配到对照组（Con，n = 30）或运动组（Ex，n = 30）。Ex组采用易筋经运动加Theraband疗法，每周3次，每次1小时，共12周。采用双能 X 射线吸收仪（DEXA）和磁共振成像（MRI）测量不同身体部位和器官的脂质分布。此外，还使用身体成分分析仪测量内脏脂肪，并进行实验室测试以测量与糖脂代谢相关的指标。与对照组相比，Ex 组患者的上肢脂肪 (ULF)、躯干脂肪 (TrF) 和肝脏脂肪 (LF) 值明显减少。此外，与基线值相比，Ex 组的甘油三酯 (TG) 水平、体重指数 (BMI)、腰臀比 (WHR)、甲状腺脂肪 (AF)、ULF、大腿脂肪 (ThF)、肾窦脂肪 (RSF) 和 LF 均显著下降。因此，易筋经可作为糖尿病前期患者的重要干预措施。
