Effects of Exercise Prediabetic Individuals

Comparison of the Effects of High-Intensity Interval Exercise Training and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Exercise Training in Prediabetic Individuals: Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Study

Sponsor

Eastern Mediterranean University

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Feb 19, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Prediabetes / Type 2 Diabetes

Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of two different exercise protocols on body composition, aerobic capacity, blood lipid profile, some biomarkers, quality of life and exercise beliefs in participants at risk of diabetes.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 60 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is examining how a structured exercise program affects the body's response to sugar and insulin in people with prediabetes — a condition where blood sugar is higher than normal but not yet at diabetes levels. The goal is to see whether exercise can help prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 60 years old - You have a slightly elevated blood sugar level (HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4%, which indicates prediabetes) - Your body mass index (BMI) is above 24.9 (overweight or obese) - You are currently sedentary (not regularly exercising) - You are not currently following a special diet **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You take insulin or diabetes medications - You have uncontrolled high blood pressure - You have a history of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERHigh Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

1 minute interval, 1 minute active recovery 5 minutes warm-up - 3 minutes cool-down will be done at 60% of peak heart rate. Weeks 1-2: Loading at an intensity of 85% of peak heart rate, active recovery at an intensity of 60% of peak heart rate 4x1 Weeks 2-7: Loading at an intensity of 90% of peak heart rate, active recovery at an intensity of 60% of peak heart rate 6x1 Weeks 8-12: Loading at an intensity of 90% of peak heart rate, active recovery at an intensity of 60% of peak heart rate 8x1

OTHERModerate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT)

5 minutes warm-up - 3 minutes cool-down will be done at 60% of peak heart rate. Weeks 1-2: Loading at 65% of peak heart rate intensity (22 minute) Weeks 2-7: Loading at 75% of peak heart rate intensity (30 minute) Weeks 8-12: Loading at 75% of peak heart rate intensity (38 minute)
