Registration Number
NCT04910763
Lead Sponsor
University of Utah
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to learn about how type of exercise influences measures of appetite regulation.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to understand the relationship between exercise modality and appetite regulation in a population with pre-diabetes. The study includes a screening visit to ensure eligibility of participants, baseline assessments, a resistance exercise intervention, and post intervention measurements. The variables of interest include, but are not limited to, hormonal responses to exercise training pertaining to appetite, food cravings, appetite ratings. activity levels, body composition, and ten repetition-max strength. The aim of this study is to better understand the mechanisms involved in the correlation or causation of any improvements in fitness and appetite regulation in a cohort with pre-diabetes.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Resistance ExerciseResistance ExerciseResistance exercise will be training all major muscle groups 2x/week (2 days upper body, 2 days lower body) at 40-50% 1 repetition max (RM; estimated from 10 RM baseline testing) for 3 sets of 10-12 reps. This equals 4x/week for the 3 week intervention period.
