Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the Pilates training on Functional Capacity among adults with type 2 diabetes The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the Pilates training on blood glucose response among adults with type 2 diabetes

Detailed Description
-----------------
A Randomized Control Trial study of 3 month period will be arranged, at Riphah International University Faisalabad after the approval of synopsis. The convenience sampling technique will be selected for registration of patients. According to specified inclusion, exclusion criteria, patients will be chosen. Calculation of Sample size for the study tells need of both males and females (45 yrs-65 yrs) that will fulfill the certain criteria. The participants of group A will receive Pilates exercise and standard care and participants of group B will receive a brisk walk on treadmill and standard care. The evaluation of patients will be done at baseline, at 6th week, 12th week and at follow up after one month of discontinuation of treatment. The patient's outcome will be measured by 6-Minute Walk Test (distance), hemoglobin A1c level and Blood Glucose level and the recording of the patient's data will be at pre-treatment and post-treatment. The data of before treatment and after treatment will be compared at follow up after one month of discontinuation of treatment. For each patient informed consent will be taken. Through Statistical Package of Social Sciences 20 software, data entry and analysis will be done

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 6-minute walk test | functional capacity is checked by 6-minute walk test | 12th week | 
| HbA1c | A hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures the amount of blood sugar (glucose) attached to hemoglobin. | 12th week | 
| Blood glucose level | The blood glucose level is the amount of glucose in the blood. Glucose is a sugar that comes from the foods we eat, and it's also formed and stored inside the body | 12th week |
