[The effects of programmed jogging on metabolism and cardio-pulmonary function of type II diabetic patients].

Abstract

This study was done for the purpose of testing effects of programmed jogging as one of the self care activities on glucose and lipid metabolism and cardio-pulmonary function in type II diabetic patients. Research design was a repeated measure as non-equivalent control group pre-post test quasi-experimental design. Thirty type II diabetic patients who received follow-up care regularly at the out patient department of internal medicine in two general hospitals which had diabetic clinic were studied. Fourteen were assigned to the experimental group and sixteen to the control group. The experimental group participated in the programmed jogging 3 times per week for 4 weeks and the control group didn't have the programmed jogging. The programmed was developed from a review of the literature done by the researcher. Data were analyzed by X2-test, t-test, paired t-test and MANOVA using SPSS/PC The results are summarized as follows; 1. There were no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group for general characteristics and the pre-test of metabolism and cardiopulmonary function. 2. Hypothesis 1) that type II diabetic patients who participate in the programmed jogging will have a higher level of glucose metabolism than type II diabetic patients who don't do programmed jogging was partly supported(FBS; between groups F = 9.57, p < .05, time within the experimental group F = 24.28, p < .001, .05, HbA1C; between groups t = 1.09, p > .05, time within the experimental group t = 2.32, p < .05). 3. Hypothesis 2) that type II diabetic patients who participate in the programmed jogging will have a higher level of lipid metabolism than type II diabetic patients who don't do programmed jogging was rejected(triglyceride; between groups F = .85, p > .05, time within the experimental group F = 7.87, p < .05, total cholesterol; between groups F = 4.07, p > .05, time within the experimental group F = .02, p > .05, HDL cholesterol; between groups F = 2.72, p. > 05, time within the experimental group F = 9.81, p < .05, body weight; between groups F = 2.72, p > .05, time within the experimental group F = 15.38, p < .001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
