Abstract
Background and Objectives: Diabetes is considered to be one of the health problems in all societies. Exercise training and supplements are approaches for improving diabetes. This study aimed to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic training with and without 25-hydroxy vitamin D supplementation on fasting blood sugar, serum insulin, and insulin resistance.
Methods: This semi-experimental research with pretest-posttest design was conducted on 48 men aging 40 to 60 years with type 2 diabetes admitted to Jesus, son of Mary Hospital in Isfahan. Volunteers were selected through convenience sampling and were divided into four groups as follows: aerobic exercise group (n=12), aerobic exercise with
25-hydroxy vitamin D supplementation group (n=12), 25-hydroxy vitamin D supplementation group (n=12), and control group (n=12). The aerobic exercise program was performed for 8 weeks (3 sessions a week, each session lasting for 60-75 minutes, with the intensity of 60-80% of maximum heart rate). The supplement groups also received 50000 units of oral vitamin D weekly for 8 weeks. Fasting blood sugar, serum insulin, and insulin resistance were measured in the 4 groups before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed by ANCOVA and LSD post-hoc test.   
 Results: The findings showed a significant difference among the four groups regarding the mean of fasting blood sugar, serum insulin, and insulin resistance (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results indicated that vitamin D supplementation combined with aerobic exercises improved fasting blood sugar, plasma insulin level, and insulin resistance. Thus, aerobic training together with the use of vitamin D supplements can be considered as a complementary therapy in improvement of diabetes.
