Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Cardiovascular Disease; Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM)
• Interventions: Other: Resistance Training; Other: Standard of Care

• Registration Number: NCT02707380
• Lead Sponsor: NYU Langone Health

Brief Summary

This study is designed to investigate the effect of a structured resistance training program on glycemic control, measured by hemoglobin A1c (glycated hemoglobin), in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who are enrolled in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. The investigator will compare the experimental group receiving resistance training to a control group made of patients enrolled in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation and perform 3 aerobic exercise modalities during their sessions, which is the current standard of care.

Group	Intervention	Description
Group 1 Resistance Training Group	Resistance Training	Participants will perform 3 exercises, one of which will be a series of 7 muscle-strengthening exercises using body weight resistance and elastic resistance bands + 36 sessions of a standard cardiac rehabilitation program consisting of monitored exercise, nutritional guidance, and heart-healthy lifestyle education three times weekly.
Group 2 Standard of Care	Standard of Care	Participants will perform 3 exercises that do not include the 7 muscle-strengthening exercises + 36 sessions of a standard cardiac rehabilitation program consisting of monitored exercise, nutritional guidance, and heart-healthy lifestyle education three times weekly.
