Analysis on the Effect of Individualized Aerobic Exercise Intervention for Teenagers with Type 2 Diabetes
1Institute of Physical Education, Zhoukou Normal University, Henan, 466001, China.
Objective:
To investigate the intervention effect of individualized aerobic exercise on type 2 diabetes in teenagers.
Method:
To select 60 cases of teenager with type 2 diabetes in Zhoukou Hospital of Traditional Medicine in February 2013 to February 2014 as the research object, test all enrolled patients' maximal oxygen and blood glucose fluctuation, and then give individualized aerobic exercise intervention, after 6 months intervention, compare the changes of patients' indexes and evaluate the effect of individualized aerobic exercise intervention.
Result:
After the intervention, the patients' plasma triglyceride and cholesterol content are significantly lower than before (P < 0.05); there's no significant difference between high and low-density lipoprotein (P > 0.05). Moreover, the patients' insulin and C-peptide level are significantly higher than those before intervention (P < 0.05); before intervention, their blood glucose and glycated hemogiobin level are higher than normal, after intervention, they are weakened, but there's no significant difference (P > 0.05). The maximal oxygen uptake and different intensity of metabolic equivalents are higher than before, but there's no significant difference (P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
For teenagers with type 2 diabetes, the implementation of individualized aerobic exercise intervention can effectively improve the patients' lipid metabolism and cardio-pulmonary function, and effectively promote the insulin and C-peptide secretion, to provide scientific basis for effective control of blood glucose.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
