The exercise program will encourage patients to complete three hours of exercise per week. This volume of activity has been shown to be superior over a program of 115 minutes per week in improving insulin sensitivity. Patients will be instructed to complete 45-minute walks, four times weekly, totalling 180 minutes (3hours) per week. The absolute volume of exercise will be considered rather than the precise combination of duration and frequency. Other combinations of exercise frequency and durati
The exercise program will encourage patients to complete three hours of exercise per week. This volume of activity has been shown to be superior over a program of 115 minutes per week in improving insulin sensitivity. Patients will be instructed to complete 45-minute walks, four times weekly, totalling 180 minutes (3hours) per week. The absolute volume of exercise will be considered rather than the precise combination of duration and frequency. Other combinations of exercise frequency and duration (e.g. three one hour exercise sessions) have been demonstrated to be as effective in generating health benefits. The exercise intensity will be governed by the heart rate as per heart rate monitors and patients will be fully versed in the importance of adhering to the correct exercise intensity range.
