What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Warm water exerciseOther

    Warm water based cycling exercise training program will be based on cycling in warm water (temperature 34◦C ). Warm water exercise will be conducted at moderate intensity (60-70% maximum heart rate). The three groups were exercise 15 minutes on the first month, second month will be increased to 20 minutes and the last month will be increased to 30 minutes. The training program will be performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks.

  • Cold water exerciseOther

    Cold water based cycling exercise training will be based on cycling in cold water (temperature 20◦C ). Cold water exercise will be conducted at moderate intensity (60-70% maximum heart rate). The three groups were exercise 15 minutes on the first month, second month will be increased to 20 minutes and the last month will be increased to 30 minutes. The training program will be performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks.

  • Land based cycling exerciseOther

    Land based cycling exercise training will be based on ride a bicycle ergometer (Monark 894e, Sweden). Land based cycling exercise training will be conducted at moderate intensity (60-70% maximum heart rate). The three groups were exercise 15 minutes on the first month, second month will be increased to 20 minutes and the last month will be increased to 30 minutes. The training program will be performed 3 times per week for 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in glycemic control

    The glycemic control will be quantified using blood samples. Fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and C-reactive protein will be measured with standard procedures at the clinical laboratory (N health Lab, Samitivej, Sriracha, Thailand). Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR will be calculated by using equation of [Fasting glucose (mg/dL) × Insulin level (uU/mL) / 405].

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in vascular reactivity

    Vascular reactivity or brachial and popliteal artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) will be assessed with the ultrasound equipment (CX50, Philips, USA), using the blood occlusion technique on the right forearm and lower leg. The brachial artery and the popliteal artery will be imaged above the antecubital fossa in the longitudinal plane and proximal slightly above the popliteal fossa. Brachial FMD will be measured at baseline and the cuff placed around the right forearm will be inflated to 50 mmHg above systolic blood pressure for 5 minutes and then deflated for 5 minutes of recovery. While popliteal FMD will be measured at baseline and the cuff will be positioned on the lower right leg below the knee will be inflated to 250 mmHg for 5 minutes and then deflated for 5 minutes of recovery. FMD will be calculated from the formula FMD= (D2-D1)x100/D1 when D1 is the brachial or popliteal artery diameter at baseline, D2 is the maximal post-occlusion brachial or popliteal artery diameter.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  3. Change from baseline in cutaneous blood flow

    Cutaneous blood flow will be determined by laser Doppler Flowmetry (DRT4, Moore Instrument, UK). Laser Doppler Flowmetry probes will be attached to the dorsum of middle fingertip and the dorsum of the foot. The occlusion cuffs will be placed around left middle upper arm and calf were inflated to a pressure of 50 mmHg above the systolic pressure and will be remained inflated for 3 minutes, after which it will be rapidly released, producing a brief high-flow state resulting in artery dilation due to increase shear stress. The peak Laser Doppler Flux (peak LDF) and after 5 min occlusion period will be recorded.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change from baseline in physical fitness

    Body composition will be measured using Body Composition Analyzer (Tanita BC-533, Japan)

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  2. Change from baseline in physical fitness

    Lower muscle strength will be measured with leg dynamometer (Tokyo, Japan).

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  3. Change from baseline in physical fitness

    Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2peak) will be assessed by bicycle ergometer (Monark: 824e, Sweden). Initial work load was 50 watt and increased stepwise by 25 W every 2 minutes (as measured using respiratory gas analyzer: Metamax 3B, Germany) until the subjects were no longer able to continue exercising.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  4. Change from baseline in physical fitness

    Pulmonary function will be measured by spirometer ((MIR-Spirobank G)

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  5. Change from baseline in blood chemistry

    Nitric oxide (NO) will be measured in plasma samples with the commercial assay kit (Colorimetric nitric oxide assay kit, PromoKine, Germany).

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  6. Change from baseline in blood chemistry

    Malondialdehyde (MDA) will be determined using thiobarbituric acid reaction.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  7. Change from baseline in blood chemistry

    C-reactive protein will be measured with standard procedures at the clinical laboratory (N health Lab, Samitivej, Sriracha, Thailand).

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

  8. Change from baseline in Peripheral arterial stiffness

    Pulse wave velocity (brachial-ankle PWV) measurement will be assessed using Omron Colin VP1000 for measuring.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Warm water exercise, Cold water exercise and Land based cycling exercise in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Chulalongkorn University at 1 site in Thailand.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 Apr 2018. 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 Thailand. 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?

Change from baseline in glycemic control (time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 Apr 2018.
