Exercise Effects on Autonomic Nervous System Activity in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients over Time: A Meta-Regression Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetic autonomic neuropathy is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in patients with long-term, poorly controlled diabetes. This study investigates the effects of exercise on autonomic nervous system activity in T2DM patients over time.

Methods

A literature review using MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and PubMed identified studies assessed via heart rate variability. Papers were categorized into three groups: immediate effects (within 60 min), short-term effects (2-3 months), and long-term effects (over 4 months).

Results

Nine articles with 161 T2DM patients were included in the meta-analysis. RMSSD changes after exercise were -4.3 (p = 0.227), 8.14 (p < 0.001), and 4.17 (p = 0.002) for the i
