Abstract

Muscular performance in euglycemic offsprings of Diabetic parents in terms of Work done and time to fatigue.

Diabetes Mellites is one of the important endocrine disorders that is associated with vascular symptoms. Blood supply to contracting muscle is affected by vascular disorders. Genetic factors play a role in the occurrence of diabetes mellitus

A Case-control study was done with 30 males euglycemic offspringes of diabetic parents with age group between 19–25. 30 male offspringes of nondiabetic parents, matched age and anthropometric data were recruited as controls.

Muscular performance was assessed in terms of Work done and time to fatigue, by Ergogram, recorded with Mosso's Ergograph.

There was no significant change in work done expressed in Kg.m in study group and control group cycle, though there is slight decrease in study group. (2.46±1.09) comparing to control group. 2.48±0.94) There is no significant change in time to fatigue thoughexpressed in seconds there is slight decrases in study group (90.06±18.55) comparing to control group. (104.13±39.88)

Though there is slight changes in values, as these are not statistically significant. As the offspring of diabetic patient are prone for developing diabetes in future due to hereditary factors, these individuals have to be carefully managed by advising regular exercise and dietary management.
