Brief Summary

To examine the effects of clinical pilates exercise on glycemic control, blood lipids and physical fitness parameters in prediabetics. Subjects will be divided into two groups through randomization.Subjects in the 1st group will be included in the control group and will continue their routine. Subjects in the 2nd group will be given clinical pilates exercise training. All subjects will be evaluated at the start of treatment, and week 16.

Conditions

Prediabetic State

Keywords

Prediabetics; Exercise; Glycemic Control; Blood Glucose

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The glycosylated hemoglobin A1c

  An A1C test result reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Specifically, the A1C test measures what percentage of hemoglobin proteins in your blood are coated with sugar (glycated). Hemoglobin proteins in red blood cells transport oxygen. The higher your A1C level is, the poorer your blood sugar control and the higher your risk of diabetes complications.

  at baseline and at the end of the 16th week

Secondary Outcomes (20)

• Fasting Blood Glucose

  at baseline and at the end of the 16th week

• Fasting insulin

  at baseline and at the end of the 16th week

• HOMA-IR

  at baseline and at the end of the 16th week

• HDL, LDL

  at baseline and at the end of the 16th week

• Vitamin D

  at baseline and at the end of the 16th week

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Diabetes education will be given at the beginning and ways to prevent type 2 diabetes will be explained.Evaluation will be made at the beginning and at the end of 16 weeks.

Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Diabetes education will be given at the beginning and ways to prevent type 2 diabetes will be explained.Clinical pilates exercises will be performed.It will consist of a warm-up, main exercise and a cool-down period.Exercises will start with 10 repetitions and will be gradually increased in 3-week periods.Before the exercise training begins, all participants will be informed about clinical pilates and its basic principles will be explained. In the first session; The 5 key elements of pilates that should not be disrupted during exercises are; breathing, centering, rib cage placement, shoulder placement, head and neck placement will be taught. Exercise program will be done 3 days a week for 16 weeks.

Other: Exercise
