About this study

Official title: Muscular and Cerebral Oxygenation Changes After Moderate-Intensity Exercise in Sedentary Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

The aim of the study is to determine the physiological evidence of how muscular and cerebral oxygenation changes link to fatigue, physical, and cognitive performance after moderate-intensity exercise in sedentary older adults with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

This is an experimental design. One intervention group will do exercise for 2 months and be measured twice, at baseline, and after 2 months. The other 2 control groups will be assessed just once without exercise intervention. Our primary objective is to clarify physiological evidence of how muscular and cerebral oxygenation changes in sedentary older adults with diabetes after low-to-moderate intensity exercise. The secondary objective is to determine fatigue, physical, cognitive performance changes, blood glucose level among sedentary older adults with diabetes after low-to-moderate intensity exercise.

Being tested
2-month home moderate-intensity exercise
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Hypoxia

What participants receive

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

  • 2-month home moderate-intensity exerciseBehavioural

    The 2-month exercise will be conducted at the participants' homes. Participants will be recommended to perform the combined exercise, which consists of the resistance exercise and walking at a faster speed than leisure walking at a moderate-intensity, for 6 days/week. They can decide which day they won't perform the exercise. Participants will be encouraged to do progressive resistance exercise and walking twice a day, once in the morning and the other time in the afternoon. Resistance exercise will be suggested to perform every other day for three days/week and walking as the aerobic exercise will be on alternate days for three days/week.

What is being measured

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

  1. normalized ∆SmO2 rate

    a parameter of muscular oxygenation to indicate the match or mismatch between oxygen supply and oxygen demand during the physical stimulus.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  2. recovery time

    a parameter of muscular oxygenation, time taken in seconds after the exercise to back to the beginning oxygenation level.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  3. Resting SmO2

    a parameter of muscular oxygenation, the average oxygenation level in % while sitting still for 3 minutes before doing physical performance tests.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  4. Oxyhemoglobin differences

    a parameter of cerebral oxygenation, the difference of the oxyhemoglobin in mL per gram before and after the cognitive tests.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Fatigue

    Fatigue will be assessed by the Numeric Fatigue Scale (NFS) by selecting a number from 0 to 10. 0 is no fatigued at all, 10 is extremely fatigued.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  2. Timed Up and Go test score in seconds

    An assessment of physical performance. Time in seconds from sitting up from a chair, walking to 3 meters, turning, walking back to sitting down on a chair.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  3. Short Physical Performance Battery

    An assessment of physical performance. This test contains three sections: balance, walking speed and chair stand. The scores are 0-12.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  4. Bilateral Heel Raise test

    An assessment of physical performance. This test askes to do heel raise to the maximum height continuously. Time to fatigued in seconds and the frequencies of heel raise are recorded.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  5. 6 Minute Walking Test

    An assessment of physical performance. The test assesses time in seconds when participants walk as fast as they can in 6 minutes.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  6. Mini-cog test

    An assessment of cognitive performance. A Short term memory test.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  7. Trail Making Test

    An assessment of cognitive performance. A executive function test.

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

  8. blood glucose level in mg/dL

    Blood glucose level before and after exercise

    Measured: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 2-month home moderate-intensity exercise in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Oxygen Deficiency, run by State University of New York at Buffalo 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 10 inclusion and 13 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 21 Sep 2021. 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?

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?

normalized ∆SmO2 rate (time frame: measure twice, at baseline and after 2 months). The study lists 4 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 21 Sep 2021.
