- Behavioral: exerciseBehavioral: No exercise intervention
- Registration Number
- NCT04496388
- Lead Sponsor
- National Taiwan University
- Brief Summary
Background: Exercise has been proven to effectively reduce incidence of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. However, there is controversial data from prior studies to inform the type of exercise training recommendations.
Aim: The aim of this study will determine the differences of different type of exercise in the effects of reducing insulin resistance and visceral adipose tissue for community residents.
Methods: The four-arm randomized controlled trial will conducted in adults aged 40 to 70 years old in Tainan. A total of at least 177 patients will randomly assign to the group of aerobic exercise (AE), aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise (RE), AE combined with medium intensity interval training, and placebo. The participants in exercise group will received 12 weeks, 3 times per week program, including twice a week intervention guided by the intervenors, and once a week exercise guided by the video at home. All the exercise keeps moderate-intensity by monitoring with 64%-75% of the maximum heart rate. Insulin resistance status will be checked by HOMA index at baseline and at exercise intervention after 12 weeks (HOMA index= insulin μU/mL）× glucose（mmol/L）/22.5).
Relevance to clinical practice: The research findings will help the clinical health works to know which type of exercise is the best choice in reducing insulin resistance and visceral adipose tissue in community residents, and can be promoted to the general public to reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome as well as prevent the root causes of ill health.

Group Intervention Description Aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise exercise Aerobic exercise is lasting for nearly 20 minutes each time, and add resistance exercise for 20 minutes. Additional warm-up 10 minutes and stretching for 5 minutes. Aerobic exercise exercise Aerobic exercise is lasting for nearly 50 minutes each time, including warm-up and stretching for 10 minutes after exercise. Placebo No exercise intervention No exercise intervention. Aerobic exercise combined with interval training exercise Aerobic exercise is lasting for nearly 20 minutes each time, and add moderal intensity interval training for 10 minutes. Additional warm-up 10 minutes and stretching for 15 minutes.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method visceral adipose tissue time before intervention(T0) and after 12-weeks exercise intervention (T1) measured by the body composition analyzer, which uses bioelectrical impedance analysis to estimate body composition.
insulin resistance time before intervention(T0) and after 12-weeks exercise intervention (T1) Blood samples.Insulin resistance status will be checked by HOMA index at baseline and at exercise intervention after 12 weeks (HOMA index= insulin （μU/mL）× glucose（mmol/L）/22.5). The insulin level and fasting sugar from blood sample will be checked to calculate the insulin resistance.
