Abstract

Study Objectives:The objective of our study was to determine whether aerobic exercise has any effects on the thyroid hormone levels and certain blood parameters of patients with Type 2 diabetes. Methods:
8 female patients with type 2 diabetes, whose average age was 39.62±6.30, years were voluntarily included in
our study. Specialists obtained fasting blood samples from participants, who underwent an exercise program
with aerobic content, in a suitable laboratory environment in the predetermined health care institution in the
morning in order to determine FT3, FT4, Triglyceride, Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Iron, and B12 values
before and after doing exercise. The case analysis method, which is one of the scientific research techniques,
was used in the research, and pre- and post-test modelling were performed. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was
performed in order to compare pre- and post-exercise values, and thus, analysis of obtained data was made
by descriptive statistics via SPSS 22.0 package program. Results: it was determined that the exercise program
ensured a statistically significant decrease to occur on the Weight, BMI, Total Cholesterol, TRIG, HDL,
LDL, T3, and T4 values of sedentary patients and women with type 2 diabetes (p<0,05). Furthermore, no
statistically significant result was found in B12 and Iron values (p>0,05). Blood and weight values, which
were are-obtained done a week from tests made in the previous week, were similar to post-test measurements. Conclusion:We may say that, in this research that is conducted on female patients with type 2 diabetes,
8 weeks of aerobic exercise made a positive effect on organizing thyroid hormone, as well as weight loss and
blood lipids. Furthermore, we are of the opinion that type 2 diabetic syndrome, which is caused by a sedentary lifestyle and irregular eating habits, may be adjusted by regular and long-term exercise program and by
reinforcing insulin resistance.
