| Popis: | Background This study compares the functional capacity and handgrip strength of older women with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) who practiced physical exercises. Methods Twenty-six older women who practiced physical exercises participated in the study (13 with T2D - DM; 13 without T2D – CON). Functional capacity and handgrip strength were assessed. Results The groups were similar in age. Regarding functional capacity, there were no significant differences between the groups in any of the tests performed (p > 0.05): chair stand (rep); arm curl (rep); chair sit and reach (cm); 8-foot up-and-go (sec); back scratch (cm) and 6-min walk (m). There was also no difference in handgrip strength (kg) between groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion The functional capacity and handgrip strength of older women with T2D who practice exercise seems similar to that of older women without the disease who practice regular exercise. |
