ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effect of aquatic exercise on mental health, functional autonomy, and oxidative dysfunction in elderly with DM2. A total of 104 elderly were included in the longitudinal clinical study and were attributed to the diabetes group (n = 30) and the non-diabetic group (n = 29). Both groups were involved in the aquatic exercise (nine exercises; 3 sets x 1-minute duration each; linear intensity and frequency measured twice a week) for 12 weeks. The assessments of mental health, functional autonomy, and oxidative dysfunction were done. All results were evaluated at baseline and 12 weeks later. The values of the following variable scores decreased in the DM2 group after participation in the aquatic exercise: depression (−56 ± 2 scores; 57%), anxiety (−8.2 ± 2 scores; 41%), stress (−3.1 ± 0.3 scores; 32%), and sleep (−3. 7 ± 1.3 points; 51%); an improvement in Berg scores was observed (+53.1 ± 2 points; 8%), Tug tests (−6.1 ± 0.7 points; 25%), carbonyl groups (−0.048 ± 0.01 nnmol/mg/protein; 49%), and total thiol (+0.33 ± 0.08 nnmol/mg/protein; 83%). We have concluded that a linear intensity aquatic exercise program improves mental health, functional autonomy, and oxidative dysfunction in elderly with DM2.

摘要

本研究调查了水上运动对 DM2 老年人心理健康、功能自主性和氧化功能障碍的影响。纵向临床研究共纳入 104 名老年人，分为糖尿病组（n = 30）和非糖尿病组（n = 29）。两组都参与了为期 12 周的水上运动（9 次运动；3 组 x 每次 1 分钟持续时间；线性强度和频率每周测量两次）。对心理健康、功能自主性和氧化功能障碍进行了评估。在基线和 12 周后评估所有结果。参加水上运动后，DM2 组的以下变量得分值下降：抑郁（-56 ± 2 分；57%）、焦虑（-8.2 ± 2 分；41%）、压力（-3.1 ± 0.3 分） ; 32%) 和睡眠 (-3. 7 ± 1. 3分；51%）；观察到 Berg 评分（+53.1 ± 2 分；8%）、Tug 测试（-6.1 ± 0.7 分；25%）、羰基（-0.048 ± 0.01 nnmol/mg/蛋白质；49%）和总硫醇（+0.33 ± 0.08 nnmol/mg/蛋白质；83%）。我们得出的结论是，线性强度的水上运动计划可以改善 DM2 老年人的心理健康、功能自主性和氧化功能障碍。
