Study Description

Sixty elderly type 2 diabetic women were sourced from the endocrinology outpatient clinic at Mansoura University hospitals in Egypt, with referrals from endocrinologists. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups.

The study group includes 30 women participating in manual diaphragmatic release plus aerobic training for 12 weeks, while the control group includes 30 women participating in aerobic training only for 12 weeks. At baseline and poststudy, the following outcomes are assessed:

  1. Ventilatory functions (Forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in the first second).

  2. Functional capacity using modified Bruce treadmill incremental exercise test (Maximal oxygen consumption estimation).
