Brief summary
Aims and hypotheses: To examine the efficacy of novel versus traditional exercise therapies on metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesize that all exercise interventions will improve abdominal, liver and pancreas fat levels, insulin sensitivity, fitness and cardiovascular health compared with control.
Interventions
Intervention groups: Participants will be randomised into the following groups: a) Supervised high intensity interval training as a single bout of aerobic exercise (4 mins; 90% VO2max) ; b) Supervised traditional prolonged moderate intensity aerobic exercise (45 mins; 60% VO2max); c) control group who will receive standard physical activity and dietary advice. All exercise is to be performed on a stationary cycle ergometer.
Exercise sessions are to be completed by the participants 3 times per w
Intervention groups: Participants will be randomised into the following groups: a) Supervised high intensity interval training as a single bout of aerobic exercise (4 mins; 90% VO2max) ; b) Supervised traditional prolonged moderate intensity aerobic exercise (45 mins; 60% VO2max); c) control group who will receive standard physical activity and dietary advice. All exercise is to be performed on a stationary cycle ergometer. Exercise sessions are to be completed by the participants 3 times per week, for a duration of 12 weeks. Participants who are randomised into the high intensity group will progressively increase the duration from 1 minute at 90%VO2max to 4 minutes. The moderate intensity group will incrementally progress in intensity in accordance to training adaptations. All exercising participants will be supervised by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist and records of heart rate and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) will be collected during each exercise session. Blood glucose measures will be taken prior to exercise and if symptoms arise of hypo/hyperglycaemia.
