The purpose of the master's thesis was to determine whether small muscle group strength exercise has the same acute effects on blood glucose levels as large muscle group exercise in people with type 2 diabetes. We performed two strength exercises, which according to the total volume, included the same amount of muscle mass. They were performed according to an intensive method to increase endurance in strength. In the study voluntarily participated 10 subjects, who did not have associated diseases that would make physical activity inadvisable and were not treated with insulin. 2 persons were male (71,5 ± 14,8 years, 175.0 ± 14.1 cm, 94.5 ± 12.5 kg) and 8 persons were female (71 ± 5,7 years, 164.1 ± 2.3 cm, 77.1 ± 3.2 kg). The strength exercises were performed in a random order. Glucose was measured before the beginning of the warm-up, immediately after exercise, 1 hour and 24 hours after exercise. At the end of the exercise, they also reported the effort rating according to the Borg effort scale. With the obtained results, we demonstrated a statistically significant influence of time (p = 0.003), while exercise alone or in combination with time had no effect on blood glucose values. Blood glucose was statistically significantly different between measurements before exercise and 1 hour after (p = 0.009), before exercise and 24 hours after exercise (p = 0.003). A statistically significant difference was also found in the period of time immediately after exercise and 1 hour after exercise (p = 0.003), immediately after exercise and 24 hours after exercise (p = 0.001). We were unable to demonstrate statistically significant differences between the given subjective ratings of effort between the groups. Based on this, we conclude that both exercises caused the same acute response, the subjects did not perceive differences in effort between exercises, and we proved the influence of time on blood glucose values.
