Objective To investigate the effect of KAATSU (pressure) and resistance training on bone mineral density (BMD), insulin sensitivity,muscle strength and hormone metabolism in pre-diabetic patients,and to provide references for the promotion of new exercise prescriptions for improving insulin sensitivity and bone health. Methods 90 pre-diabetic patients were enrolled into this study. All subjects had pre-test two weeks before the experiment. The pretest included 1RM test of leg squat and leg lift,insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance test,bone mineral density,bone metabolic index, leg muscle mass,isokinetic muscle strength, jumping ability (vertical swinging and stepping swinging),growth hormone (GH) and blood testosterone. All subjects were randomly divided into control group ( C group), KAATSU and resistance training group ( KR group) and resistance training group (R group),with 30 subjects in each group. After the completion of the randomization,the training program for each group lasted for a period of 36 weeks,and participants had 5 times per week training intervention. At the end of the 36 weeks training intervention, post-test was conducted within 3 days, and the items were consistent with those of the pre-test. Using SPSS statistical software, independent samples t test and analysis of variance were performed. Results The post-test result of OGTT - 2 h, HOMA-IR, urinary HOP, urinary DPD and plasma TRACP in KR group and R group were significantly lower than those of pretest (P < 0. 05), and those in group C (P < 0. 05). The post-test result of these variables in group KR were significantly lower than those in group R (P < 0. 05). The post-test result of femoral neck BMD, Ward’s triangle BMD and greater trochanter BMD of KR group and R group were significantly higher than those of pre-test (P < 0. 05), and those of group C (P < 0. 05). The post-test result of lower extremity muscle mass and lower extremity muscle strength were significantly higher in the KR group and the R group than those of the pre-test (P < 0. 05) , and the post-test result of KR group were significantly higher than those of R group (P < 0. 05). Conclusion In pre-diabetic patients, KAATSU training combined with resistance training could reduce fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin, improve insulin sensitivity, and at the same time increase bone density, reduce bone resorption and increase muscle strength and muscle mass of lower limbs. The increase in growth hormone secretion, IGF - 1 and testosterone induced by venous pool caused by pressurization could be the main influencing factor of the above effects. |
