Efficacy of aerobic training on blood cholesterol parameters in women with gestational diabetes
Keywords:
aerobic training, blood, cholesterol, gestational diabetesAbstract
Background: To study and find the efficacy of aerobic training on blood cholesterol parameters in women with gestational diabetes. Methods: Ethical clearance was taken from the Institutional Ethical Committee. This study was carried out by analyzing total 34 out of 40 patients with gestational diabetes between the age group of 20 years and above. The participants were divided into experimental and control group by random sampling. The experimental group was given aerobic exercising for 8 weeks 3-4 times a week for 45-50 minutes. Lipid profile was used to check the blood cholesterol parameters before and after the intervention. Result: There was an observed increase in the mean HDL of the exercise group at the end of the 8 weeks. Statically the patients who were given aerobic training showed there was extremely significant difference (p<0.0001) whereas in the control group it was not significant (p value0.6593). There was a considerable decrease in the total cholesterol of the exercise group and the control group remained steady. Statistically the exercise group showed there was extremely significant difference (p<<0.0001) whereas in the control group it was not significant (p value0.1057).
