Results of Progressive Resistance Training in Older Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Sarcopenia

Evaluating Resistance Training for Sarcopenia in Older Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Treatment Outcomes


Sponsor

National Geriatric Hospital

Enrollment

80 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

A randomized controlled clinical trial that will test how progressive resistance training will impact outcomes of sarcopenia in older patients with type 2 diabetes who have been diagnosed as sarcopenia. The intervention will be 12 weeks in duration with approximately 24 sessions of resistance exercises. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, 4, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study looks at whether progressive resistance training (gradually increasing strength exercises) can improve muscle mass, strength, and blood sugar control in older adults who have both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (significant muscle loss with age). **You may be eligible if...** - You are 60 to 80 years old - You have type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c (average blood sugar level) between 7.0% and 8.5% - You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have acute diabetic complications - You have active joint or musculoskeletal problems like gout, arthritis flare-up, or nerve pain - You have had a stroke with weakness, severe heart failure, or severe cognitive decline - You have been mostly bedridden for more than a month in the last 3 months - You have uncontrolled high blood pressure (160/100 or above), unstable heart rhythm, or serious heart disease - Your kidney function is significantly reduced - You are taking SGLT2 inhibitor diabetes medications Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALProgressive Resistance Training

Progressive resistance training includes face-to-face education on resistance training: Resistance exercises with elastic bands include 9 exercises for 1 course. During the first 4 weeks, the patient exercises twice a week with a level of exertion according to Borg's category-ratio 10 (CR10) scale of 4-5 points. For the next 4 weeks, the patient exercises twice a week with Borg's CR10 exertion level of 6-7 points. In the last 4 weeks, the patient exercises twice a week with Borg's CR10 exertion level of 8-9 points. The three-month intervention involves twelve weekly calls, with a focus on building rapport (e.g. providing feedback on the baseline assessment); education reinforcement on resistance training; and skill-building (e.g. self-monitoring and resistance training diary). The emphasis is on helping participants to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve targeted intensity. Every 4 weeks, all patients are re-visited by investigators in the hospital.
