Interval-training and Appetite Regulation in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Not Applicable
Conditions
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Interventions
Behavioral: CON
Behavioral: IW
Behavioral: CW
Registration Number
NCT02592616
Lead Sponsor
Rigshospitalet, Denmark
Brief Summary

Four months of interval walking (IW) training results in substantial weight loss in opposition to energy-expenditure matched continuous walking (CW) training. The reason for this is unclear.

This study will assess if IW leads to greater exercise-induced suppression of appetite and ad libitum food intake compared to CW and no exercise.

Subjects with type 2 diabetes will be included in a crossover, counter-balanced, controlled study, where each subject will undergo three trials. Trials will be identical except the following interventions:

1. One hour of rest (CON)

2. One hour of interval walking (repeated cycles of 3 min of fast and 3 min of slow walking; IW)

3. One hour of continuous walking (CW) matched to IW with regards to energy-expenditure.

After the interventions subjects will undergo a liquid mixed meal tolerance test (450 kCal), with regular measurements of appetite-related hormones (insulin, ghrelin, Leptin, Cholecystokinin, PYY). Three hours into the mixed meal tolerance test, a standardised ad-libitum meal test will be served and intake will recorded. Free-living energy intake via food records will be assessed during the following 32 hours.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ad-libitum meal energy intakeInitiated 3 hours after the intervention

Subjects will receive a standardized ad-libitum meal and energy intake will be assessed

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SatietyRegular assessments for 36 hours following the intervention

Satiety questionaires will be completed at regular intervals after the intervention

Free-living energy intakeFor 32 hours following the ad-libitum meal.

Subjects will complete diet records for 32 hours following the ad-libitum meal and energy intake will be assessed.

Appetite-related hormonesRegularly during the 3 hours following the intervention

Appetite-related hormones (insulin, ghrelin, leptin, cholecyctokinin, PYY) will be analysed in blood samples collected regularly during the liquid mixed-meal tolerance test following the intervention
