Effects of low-versus high-volume high-intensity interval training on glycemic control and quality of life in obese women with type 2 diabetes. A randomized controlled trial.

Background/objective: Comparison between different training volumes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is understudied in type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to compare the effects of low- and high-volume HIIT on glycemic control, blood lipids, blood pressure, anthropometric adiposity measures, cardiorespiratory fitness, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: Seventy-two obese women with type 2 diabetes aged 36-55 were randomly assigned to a low-volume HIIT group (i.

Effects of aerobic, resistance, and combined training on thyroid function and quality of life in hypothyroidism. A randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of aerobic, resistance, and combined exercises on thyroid function, lipid profile, exercise capacity, and quality of life (QoL) in hypothyroid women.

Methods: Sixty women aged 35 to 45 with clinical hypothyroidism were randomized to four equal groups: aerobic training (AT), resistance training (RT), combined AT/RT, and control groups. All exercises were performed at low to moderate intensity, three days per week, and for 12 weeks.
