Background: The interplay between physical activity and metabolic health, particularly in diabetes management, is a pivotal area of investigation. This study examines the impact of a three-month moderate aerobic exercise regimen on glycemic control and estrogen levels in young female diabetic patients, aiming to shed light on potential synergies between exercise interventions and hormonal dynamics. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest design focused on young diabetic females aged 13 to 18. A structured moderate aerobic exercise program was implemented, comprising warm-up, exercise, and cool-down phases. Pre and post-intervention assessments included blood glucose, estrogen (E2) levels in the follicular phase, and fitness scores, with subsequent comparisons and correlations. Results: Fifteen young females, with a m.. Read More»
