... ng (16 orang/kelompok perlakuan), dan analisis data Independent Sample T Test & Paired T Test. Hasil penelitian, terjadi penurunan kadar gula kadar rata-rata 9 mg/dl pada latihan jalan kaki 30 menit setiap hari (5 kali) perminggu dan ratarata 48 mg/dl pada latihan jalan kaki 60 menit 3 kali perminggu. Latihan jalan kaki 60 menit 3 kali perminggu, berpengaruh terhadap penurunan kadar gula darah (α = 0,024 < 0,05), terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara perlakuan aktifitas fisik jalan kaki 30 menit setiap hari dibanding perlakuan aktifitas jalan kaki 60 menit 3 kali perminggu (α = 0,033 < 0,05).
