effects of isolated and combined effects of aerobic dancing and resistance training on
triglyceride level of type-2 diabetic patients.

METHODOLOGY
The study was formulated as pre and post test random group design, in which sixty
subject were divided into four equal groups. The experimental group-1 (n=15, AD)
underwent aerobic dancing the experimental group-2 (n=15, RT) underwent
resistance training – 3 (n=15, AD+RT) underwent combined training of aerobic dancing and
resistance training (COM-T) and group-4 (n=15, CG) served as a control group did not
undergo any training. In this study, three training programme were adopted as independent
variable, i.e., aerobic dancing, resistance training and combined training. The low density
lipoprotein was chosen as dependent variable. . It was tested by blood analysis and recorded
in mg/dL. The selected three treatment groups were performed twelve weeks, as per the
stipulated training program. The condition of low density lipoprotein was tested before and
after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt
statistical tool of analysis of co-variance, for observed the significant adjusted post-test mean
difference of three groups. The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise
comparisons between groups. The patients were involved with their respective training for a
period of twelve weeks.

The pre test mean and standard deviation on low density lipoprotein scores G1, G2
G3 and G4 were 140.13+ 1.41, 140.07+1.03, 140.20+ 0.86 and 140.07+ 1.30 respectively.
The obtained pre test F value of 0.05 was lesser than the required table F value 2.77. Hence
the pre test means value of aerobic dancing; resistance training, combined training and
control group on low density lipoprotein on before start of the respective treatments were
found to be insignificant at 0.05 level of confidence for the degrees of freedom 3 and 56.
Thus this analysis confirmed that the random assignment of subjects into four groups were
successful.
The post test mean and standard deviation on low density lipoprotein of G1, G2 G3
and G4 were 125.07+2.76, 131.07+2.58, 120.07+1.94 and 141.33+1.40 respectively. The
obtained post test F value of 250.95 was higher than the required table F value of 2.77. Hence
the post test means value of aerobic dancing; resistance training, combined training and
