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
National Geriatric Hospital
80 participants
Apr 1, 2024
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.

Interventions
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.
