Effect of Aerobic Training with Kettlebell Exercise on Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is commonly associated with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness, impaired pulmonary function, and altered hemodynamic responses. Exercise interventions are an important non-pharmacological strategy to improve overall fitness and metabolic control in these patients. Kettlebell training, which combines aerobic and resistance elements, has recently gained attention as a potential modality to enhance cardiorespiratory health.

Objectives-1 To study the effect of kettlebell training on pulmonary function, 2. To study the effect of kettlebell training on cardiorespiratory fitness.3 To study the effect on heart rate and blood pressure in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Method- A total 120 type 2 diabetes mellitus subject were selected and divided into two groups. Group 1 (n=60) control received free resistance training and Group 2 (n=60) experimental received aerobic training with kettlebell exercise. The pre assesssment is measured by parameters blood pressure, heart rate, PFT, and treadmill test (FBS) And post interventional assessment was taken after 6 months.

Result-Statistical analysis for heartrate, blood pressure, PFT, fasting blood sugar parameters revealed significant in postintervention for group 2 (p<0.0001). Group 2 aerobic training with a kettlebell was given to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, showing a statistically significant improvement.

Conclusion- Aerobic training using kettlebell exercises is effective in improving heart rate, blood pressure, pulmonary function, and fasting blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. These findings suggest that kettlebell training can serve as a beneficial adjunct to traditional exercise programs for improving cardiorespiratory fitness in this population.
