Abstract

Background and Objective:  One of the complications of diabetes is respiratory problems and reduced lung function in these patient. There for the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise and consumption of omega-3 on male pulmonary function with type II diabetes.
Subjects and Methods:  In the present quasi-experimental study, 40 male with type II diabetes with an average 43.5 ± 4.9 y old were selected by purposive sampling method and randomly divided into 4 groups: exercise + placebo, exercise + omega-3, omega-3 and placebo. Training for eight weeks, three times a week and each session includes 45-60 min of aerobic exercise with 50-70% of heart rate reserve. 1000 mg Omega-3 capsules were consumed daily. For statistical analysis t-test and ANOVA were used (P ≤ 0.05).
Results: After regular training for 8 weeks, a significant increase was observed in FVC, FEV1 and VO2max in two groups: exercise + placebo and exercise + omega-3 compared to placebo. VO2max levels significantly increased in exercise + placebo and exercise + omega-3 compared to omega-3. Also significant increase in FVC in exercise + placebo compare to omega-3 group (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups of exercise + omega-3 and exercise + placebo groups (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: The results showed that the aerobic training were more effective on pulmonary and breathing function than the consumption of omega-3 alone. In addition, consumption of omega-3 and combination aerobic training of FVC were more effective than the consumption of omega-3 alone.
