We aimed to compare the changes in PRL with glycemic indices and lipid profile and also to investigate the relationship of insulin resistance (IR) with PRL in obese postmenopausal women with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) following 12-week aerobic, resistance and combined exercises, while our inclusion and exclusion criteria and also design exercise protocol differ from other studies in this field. In a quasi-experimental study for 12 weeks, 40 women with DMT2 were randomly selected by availability and purposive sampling and divided into four equal groups of aerobic training, resistance, combined and control group. Aerobic group accomplished aerobic exercise (AEX), 3x/week, for 20-50 minutes at 50-70% of maximum heart rate. Resistance group received resistance exercise (REX), 3x/week in three sets of 10 repetitions with 40-60% of one repetition maximum. The program i.. View More»
