Summary

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is associated with loss of functional capacity and increased blood pressure. Coupled with this, there is an increased risk of falls and fractures in patients with T2D. On the other hand, conventional training programs for resistance, aerobic or combined exercises are strongly recommended for people with T2D, as they promote a reduction in the glycemic rate and blood pressure, and an improvement in functional capacity. However, little is known about unconventional training programs such as PILATES (dynamic and isometric muscle actions) on functional capacity and cardiovascular adaptations in T2D.

PILATES Training

During the PILATES sessions, the practitioner received orientations to to perform slow movements, aware, and combined with the respiratory cycle. The exercises program was performed on a soft ground covered with tatamis. During the program, a set of swiss balls of 45, 55, and 65 cm in size and elastic bands of very moderate resistance were used. Each exercise session was divided into 3 stages, namely (a) global initial static and dynamic stretching (10 minutes); (b) general conditioning (45 minutes) and; (c) relaxation (5 minutes). The amount of series and repetitions per set in exercises, in addition to the intensity required in each session in PILATES is presented in Table 2 of Melo et al. (2020) - Vide reference.
