Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effect of three types of aerobic, resistive, and localized exercises on glycemic indexes and neuropathy in diabetic patients
Design
The clinical trial with three intervention groups, pragmatic, Single-blind, randomized
Settings and conduct
This study is conducted in the Diabetes Clinic of Vasei Hospital in Sabzevar. The evaluator is unaware of the grouping. Patients are randomly assigned to the intervention group 1, 2 and 3. The response to treatment is evaluated using Neuron-EMG-Micro device, Michigan neuropathy questionnaires, ABI device, tuning fork at the end of the second month after intervention for all three groups.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: FBS above 126 mg/dl; Having diabetes for 4-6 years. Exclusion criteria: Having autonomic neuropathy; non-diabetic neuropathy using drugs affecting the nervous and vascular systems; Having Cardiac or musculoskeletal problems precludes activity.
Intervention groups
Intervention group 1: Patients in this group perform resistance training for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week including 10 minutes of warm-up, 40 minutes of core exercise, and 10 minutes of cool-down. Intervention group 2: Patients in this group perform aerobic exercises for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week including 10 minutes warm-up, 45 minutes core exercise and 5 minutes cool-down. Intervention group3: Patients in this group perform specialized topical exercises in this group for 8 weeks and 5 days a week with a special protocol (flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction of hip and shoulder and flexion and extension of elbow and knee and little joints).
Main outcome variables
Fast Blood Sugar (FBS); Hemoglobin A1C(HbA1C); the severity of diabetic neuropathy; Limbs hypertension, sense of vibration; balance

Randomization description
Randomization is conducted based on a permutation block, Accordingly, 9 blocks were allocated to patients, in each block, 3 were from the following treatment groups A, B, and C. Eventually, after completion of the blocks, group A undergoes resistance training, group B undergoes aerobic training and group C undergoes topical specialized training.
