Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine a carryover effect of the exercise at the intensity of 50% AT in the patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Five NIDDM inpatients who had received no pharmacotherapy performed 30-min exercise of bicycle ergometer at the intensity of 50% AT, and their blood glucose level, serum insulin value and lipid were measured before breakfast next morning. The same exercise and measurement was undertaken on the day after the day when the patients had no exercise (rest day). Comparison between the results of rest day and those of exercise day indicated that no carryover effect of the exercise at the intensity of 50% AT was observed in the present subjects.
