ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a disease characterized by elevated glucose level in the blood. This study focused to find out the effects of whole-body vibration therapy and resisted exercise among type II diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: Total 36 subjects both male and female were selected for this study with age group between (35 - 50 years). Subjects were divided into three groups. Group A received whole body vibration therapy and Group B received resisted exercise. Group C underwent conventional exercises. All three groups received an intervention for 12 weeks. Pre and post HbA1c and lipid profile were measured. Results: The study shows that there is a significant reduction in HbA1c level and lipid profile in whole body vibration therapy followed by resisted exercise group and conventional therapy group. Conclusion: This study concluded that whole body vibration therapy can recommend for controlling blood glucose level effectively among type II diabetes mellitus subjects.

Various pharmacological treatments available to control diabetes. But exercise plays a major role in controlling as well as preventing the type 2 DM7. recent studies supports well-structured lifestyle modification and more in physical activity and reducing weight contributing in the delayed onset of type 2 DM.8 American diabetes association (ADA) recommends therapeutic strengthening exercise preventing cardiovascular disease which...
