Abstract
AIM: Effect of low impact exercises on diabetic housewives and working women.
METHOD: This randomized controlled experimental study consisted of 32 diabetic women in regarding effectiveness of low impact exercises (Jogging, low-impact jumping jacks, and squats to jab). In this study BMI ( Body Mass Index) is measured with weighing machine, Heart rate and SPO2 ( Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen) are measured with oximeter and blood sugar level(Post-meal) is measured with glucometer. Total no.of women were divided into 16 housewives and 16 diabetic working women. The patients in this study performed warm up exercise ( active stretching and quadriceps stretch) for roughly 10 minutes, then the patients performed low impact exercises and at last they performed cool down exercises such as forward bending for 5 minutes to cool the body down. BMI(Body Mass Index) Heart Rate, SPO2(Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen) and Blood sugar level(Post-meal) are measured .Blood sugar readings along with the BMI (Body Mass Index), heart rate , SPO2 (Saturation of Peripheral Oxygen) is to be taken twice a week for 16 weeks treatment protocol and assesment after every 15 days .
RESULTS: 14 out of 16 housewives were showing effectiveness and the percentile of the effectiveness of the low impact exercise in housewives was noted 87.50%. Similarly in the case of diabetic working women, in which only 9 out of 16 working women were showing effectiveness and the percentile of the effectiveness of the low impact exercise in working women was noted 56.20%.
CONCLUSION: Low impact exercises (Jogging, low-impact jumping jacks, and squats to jab). along with the warm up and cool down exercise are most effective in the diabetic housewives as compared to the diabetic working women.
