Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study; To investigate the effects of Clinical Pilates and Tai Chi exercises on glycemic control, body composition, balance function and physical activity level in individuals with prediabetes.

Description:

The purpose of this study; To investigate the effects of Clinical Pilates and Tai Chi exercises on glycemic control, body composition, balance function and physical activity level in individuals with prediabetes. Method: 54 individuals diagnosed with Prediabetes in the Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Polyclinic at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir Training and Research Hospital will participate in our study. Individuals will be divided into 3 groups: Clinical Pilates group, Tai Chi group and control group. Before exercise, routine blood tests of individuals will be performed and their fasting and postprandial blood glucose and HbA1C (Glycosized Hemoglobin) levels will be checked. Bioelectrical Impedance Device will be used to evaluate body composition. Timed Up and Go Test and Berg Balance Scale will be used to evaluate individuals' balance functions. Physical Activity level of individuals will be measured using the International Physical Activity Level Scale (IPAQ) and the Accelerometer device. Evaluations will be repeated in all groups at the end of the 12-week exercise application. SPSS (Statistical Package Program for Social Science) software will be used to analyze the data. Statistical analysis of the study will be done with Wilcoxon related two-sample test for intra-group measurements, and Man Whitney U test for inter-group evaluations. For the significance level, p value will be accepted as p<0.05.
