Abstract

We examined the effects of 16 weeks of football training and dietary advice on blood glucose control and health status in 55- to 70-year-old women and men with prediabetes. Fifty participants with prediabetes (age; 61 ± 6 years, BMI; 29.6 ± 4.7; VO_2max 22.3 ± 5.7 mL·min⁻¹·kg⁻¹) were randomized into a football and dietary advice group (F+D; n = 27) and a dietary advice group (D; n = 23). F+D performed football training (twice weekly 30- to 60-minutes sessions) and received dietary advice, while D only received dietary advice. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was completed pre and post the 16-week period. Body composition, blood pressure, and maximal oxygen uptake (VO_2max) were additionally measured. Both groups demonstrated a decrement (P <.05) in fasting blood glucose (−0.4 ± 0.5 mmol·L⁻¹) and lowered blood glucose throughout OGTT. F+D displayed lower values than D (P <.05) after 60 minutes (9.0 ± 2.7 vs 10.6 ± 2.9 mmol·L⁻¹) and 120 minutes (5.7 ± 1.6 vs 7.5 ± 2.4 mmol·L⁻¹). VO_2max increased by 14% in F+D, with a higher (P <.05) change score than in D (2%). Mean arterial pressure declined more (P <.05) in F+D than in D (−8 ± 9 vs −4 ± 11 mm Hg). Fat loss was greater (P <.05) in F+D than in D (−3.4 ± 2.8 vs −1.2 ± 2.0 kg), and the increase in lean body mass was also greater (P <.05) in F+D than in D (0.7 ± 1.5 vs −0.3 ± 1.6 kg). In conclusion, football training combined with dietary advice has broad-spectrum effects on metabolic and cardiovascular health profile with greater overall effects than professional dietary advice per se for 55- to 70-year-old women and men with prediabetes.
