Effects of mixed training exercise prescription on muscle function in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with sarcopenia
Objective To explore the effects of mixed training exercise prescription on muscle and function in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicated with sarcopenia.Methods A total of 90 elderly patients with T2DM complicated with sarcopenia who were hospitalized in our hospital from January to December 2022 were recruited and randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 45 cases in each group.The control group maintained the state of daily life,and the observation group adopted the mixed training exercise prescription.After 12 weeks of intervention,the intervention effects of the two groups were compared.Results After intervention,there were no significant differences in the levels of triglyceride(TG)and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)between the two groups(P>0.05);after intervention,the glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Before intervention,there were no significant differences in grip strength and five"up-sit"test time between the two groups(P>0.05);after intervention,the grip strength in the observation group was greater than that in the control group,and the five"up-sit"test time was shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05).Before intervention,there were no significant differences in appendicular skeletal muscle(ASM)and skeletal muscle mass index(SMI)between the two groups(P>0.05);after intervention,the ASM and SMI in the observation group were larger than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The mixed training exercise prescription can enhance the muscle strength and lower limb function of elderly patients with T2DM complicated with sarcopenia,and significantly improve the overall health of patients.
