Abstract
This research aims to compare the effects of the Northeastern (Esan) Thai folk dance exercise program on physical fitness and blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus before and after the implementation of the exercise program. It was one-group pretest-posttest design research. The samples were 15 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus without hypertension with the duration of treatment for more than 5 years and unable to control blood sugar levels and willing to participate in the research project. The samples were selected by a purposive sampling method. The samples attended the
Northeastern (Esan) Thai folk dance exercise program 3 times a week, 50 minutes each time for 12 weeks. The instruments used to collect data were blood sugar level record and physical fitness record. The data were analyzed by paired t-test.
The results indicated that the blood sugar levels of the samples who attended the Northeastern (Esan) Thai folk dance exercise program were significantly lower than before attending the program (p < .05). Lung capacity, trunk forward flexion, balance and physical strength were also greater than those of before attending the exercise program with statistical significance (p <.05). The recommendations for future research are as follows. The effectiveness of the Northeastern (Esan) Thai folk dance exercise program in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who cannot control blood sugar levels should be studied by using two-group pretestposttest design to confirm the effectiveness of the program.
