Abstract
The researcher aimed to identify the effect of engaging in physical activities following the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) method, with or without the use of Metformin XR (500 mg), on fasting, random, and HbA1c blood glucose levels in individuals at risk of developing diabetes type 2. The study included 30 participants, with the mean and standard deviation values for their age, body mass, height, and glucose levels as follows: (42.27 ± 1.72) years, (89.33 ± 8.82) kg, (171.67 ± 4.68) cm, and (117.87 ± 4.40) mg/100 mL, respectively. The researcher employed an experimental research methodology using an equivalent group design, dividing the research sample into three groups (control and two experimental groups), each consisting of 10 individuals. Pre-tests were conducted for all three groups, including measurements of fasting, random, and HbA1c blood glucose levels. The main experiment was applied over a period of three months, after which the researcher re-conducted the mentioned tests. The statistical values (Sig) of the Wilcoxon test for the pre- and post-test results of fasting, random, and HbA1c blood glucose levels showed P ≤ 0.05, indicating the effectiveness of engaging in physical activities using the HIIT method, with or without the use of Metformin XR (500 mg), in reducing blood glucose levels.
