About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular, Muscular Adaptations and Glycaemic Control to 6 Months of Recreational Soccer in Type 2 Diabetic Men

The present study investigates the effects of recreational soccer in type 2 diabetic men in regard to muscular, cardiovascular adaptations and glycaemic control. 12 men participate in 6 month structured recreational soccer training and 10 men act as control with no change in lifestyle. Testing consisting of fasting blood samples, muscle biopsies, Dexa-scans, echocardiography, maximal oxygen consumption, Yo-Yo interval test, bloodpressure, Resting heart rate, and endothelial function (Itamar, Endopat)will be performed at baseline, after 12 and 24 weeks, respectively.

The study examines the hypothesis that the high-intensity aerobic work profile combined with a high anaerobic turnover from the nature of soccer (accelerations, decelerations, turns, sudden stops) will improve glycaemic control, muscle and cardiac function and taken together will improve the overall health profile in type 2 diabetic men

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cardiac adaptations

    All participants are examined with 2d- echocardiography, speckletracking, strain and colordoppler

    Measured: Analysis of data at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks

  2. muscular adaptations

    muscle biopsies are obtaned from the vastus lateralis muscle at baseline, after 12 and 24 weeks, respectively

    Measured: Data analysis after baseline, 12 and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Vascular function

    All subjects are examined with peripheral arterial tonometri (endopat). Plasma samples and muscle biopsies are analyzed for relevant markers of vascular function

    Measured: Data analysis after baseline, 12 and 24 weeks

  2. glycaemic control

    HbA1c, insulin and C-peptide are meassured at baseline, after 12 and 24 weeks, respectively

    Measured: Data analysis after baseline, 12 and 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing soccer exercise or continued daily lifestyle in people with Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension, run by University of Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cardiac adaptations (time frame: Analysis of data at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01636349, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Dec 2012.
