BACKGROUND: We aimed to assess effects of circuit resistance training (CRT) on glycemic control of females with type II diabetes. METHODS: Twenty obese and overweight females with diabetes type II were randomly selected in two groups (circuit resistance exercise and control). CRT performed in 3 days/week for 3 months, and the serum and body parameters were assessed. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test in SPSS version 19. RESULTS: Mean age in the CRT and control group was 50.2 +/- 4.89 years and 51.3 +/- 6.63 years, respectively. Results showed significant changes in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and subcutaneous fat were noted in the CRT group (p = 0.04, p = 0.002, respectively). Also, findings indicated higher HbA1c in CRT group after intervention in comparison with controls and results showed a significant difference (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: According to the positive effect of CRT, it seems that can be recommended for patients with diabetes type II.
