Effects of Different Training Programs in Chronic Disease Patients

Summary

The study is a randomized 3-month community-based exercise intervention with a control group and 2 different exercise groups: walking group and Chinese square dancing group.Eighteen communities will be selected in Beijing, and they will be age matched and randomly grouped into walking, Chinese square dancing and control groups. Each community will include twenty subjects (ten patients with hypertension and ten patients with hypertension complicated with diabetes) aged 40-69 years. All exercise sessions will be supervised and subject's exercise implementation process will be managed with intelligent equipment. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different training programs.

The demographics data, physical activity questionnaires, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, height, weight and physical fitness （cardiorespiratory fitness，muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, body composition） will be measured before and after 3-month exercise training .The adverse reactions in the implementation of the interventions will be recorded. The primary outcomes are blood pressure and blood glucose.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Walking group

Subjects in this group perform exercise consisting of walking for 30 - 60 min at 40% - 60% HRR intensity 3-5 d•wk-1 for 3 months . Each training includes 5 min warm-up and 5 min cool-down, and the exercise should start after meals for 1 hour . Heart rate is monitored by sports bracelet . Subjects using β-blockers will not use heart rate to monitor exercise intensity , but RPE scores . And RPE( Borg scale) scores are ranged from 11-13.

BEHAVIORAL

Chinese square dancing group

Chinese square dances have been selected from 24 sets of square dances jointly launched in 2015 and 2017. According to the age and physical health status of the subjects, six dance pieces of are selected as the repertoires of the intervention in this study. Subjects in this group perform exercise consisting of Chinese square dances for 30-60 min at 40% - 60% HRR intensity 3-5 d•wk-1 for 3 months. Each training includes 5 min warm-up and 5 min cool-down , and the exercise should start after meals for 1 hour. Make the subjects step for 30 s to 1 min between each track to adjust the heart rate. Heart rate is monitored by sports bracelet. Subjects using β-blockers will not use heart rate to monitor exercise intensity, but RPE scores. And RPE( Borg scale) scores are ranged from 11-13.

BEHAVIORAL

Control group

Walking group , Chinese square dancing group and control group are given the same health education brochures or health education lectures once a month . Specific contents of the brochure or lecture include : type 2 diabetes , hypertension related medical knowledge and the significance of intervention treatment ; prevention of type 2 diabetes , hypertension nutrition and exercise recommendations ; basic knowledge of scientific exercise and its matters needing attention .
