Trial summary

Physical inactivity is prevalent in older adults and poses a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the effect of non-exercise physical activity using a standing desk on clinical variables in older adults with type 2 diabetes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Dynamic Standing vs. Static Standing on Subjective Fatigue Symptoms

Physical inactivity is prevalent in older adults and poses a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the effect of non-exercise physical activity using a standing desk on clinical variables in older adults with type 2 diabetes.

Being tested
Sitting, Static standing, Dynamic standing

What participants receive

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

  • SittingBehavioural

    Also called SIT

    We proposed a dynamic standing approach (working while standing accompanied by small periodic stepping movements) as a more tolerable and thereby more applicative lifestyle modification. To evaluate this form on healthy subjects, three different conditions were applied: 3 hours of sitting, static standing and dynamic standing. Both standing conditions were done with height-adjustable table which was developed at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA)

  • Static standingBehavioural

    Also called STAT

    We proposed a dynamic standing approach (working while standing accompanied by small periodic stepping movements) as a more tolerable and thereby more applicative lifestyle modification. To evaluate this form on healthy subjects, three different conditions were applied: 3 hours of sitting, static standing and dynamic standing. Both standing conditions were done with height-adjustable table which was developed at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA)

  • Dynamic standingBehavioural

    Also called DYN

    We proposed a dynamic standing approach (working while standing accompanied by small periodic stepping movements) as a more tolerable and thereby more applicative lifestyle modification. To evaluate this form on healthy subjects, three different conditions were applied: 3 hours of sitting, static standing and dynamic standing. Both standing conditions were done with height-adjustable table which was developed at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA)

What is being measured

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

  1. Oxygen consumption

    Oxygen uptake VO2 (ml/min/kg)

    Measured: change in oxygen consumption between all three conditions, which will be measured with a minimum washout period of 3 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Executive control

    Executive functions measured with Trail Making Test (seconds)

    Measured: change in executive control and cognitive switching levels between all three conditions, which will be measured with a minimum washout period of 3 days

  2. Attention levels

    Measuring attention with Stroop test (seconds)

    Measured: change in attentional levels between all three conditions, which will be measured with a minimum washout period of 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sitting, Static standing and Dynamic standing in people with Diabete Mellitus and Aging, run by Science and Research Centre Koper at 1 site in United States.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Nicolaas Bohnen, MD, PhD (nbohnen@med.umich.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Oxygen consumption (time frame: change in oxygen consumption between all three conditions, which will be measured with a minimum washout period of 3 days). 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 NCT04410055, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 1 Jun 2020.
