A Randomized Controlled Trial of Exercise Training Among Men With Type 2-diabetes

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; Hyperglycemia
• Interventions: Behavioral: strength training; Behavioral: Endurance training

• Registration Number: NCT00666094
• Lead Sponsor: Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Brief Summary

To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in change in HbA1C among men with type 2-diabetes after an exercise intervention with strength versus endurance training.

Detailed Description

Exercise training is well documented as part of effective treatment for type 2-diabetes patients. Endurance training has been suggested as the most suitable form of exercise. There are reasons to believe that strength training also has a positive effect. However, comparisons of endurance training and strength training regimes are limited.

Therefore we randomized 26 men with type 2-diabetes to either an endurance training group or a strength training group. Both groups exercised three sessions per week for three months. The training was supervised.
