Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to estimate the extent to which supported exercise training through wearable technology and mobile application affects glycemic control in comparison to supervised exercise training in patients with Type-2 Diabetes.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to estimate the extent to which supported exercise training through wearable technology and mobile application affects glycemic control in comparison to supervised exercise training in patients with Type-2 Diabetes. Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-65 * No other chronic condition * No exercise training background Block Randomization according to age and sex. Confirmatory Outcome \- Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) Explanatory outcomes * Flexibility * Level of Physical Activity - IPaQ (METS) and accelerometer * Hamstring / Quad strength - isokinetic * Grip strength * Respiratory function test - F1, FVC, F25, F75, F100 * 6MWT * Balance - static, dynamic, proprioception, sit-to-stand balance * Body Muscle Percentage - bioelectrical impedance analysis

Interventions

BEHAVIORALWearable watch training group.

3 orientation session Watch notifies 3/week for exercise

BEHAVIORALMobile application training group.

3 orientation session App notifies 3/week for exercise Benefits of app: Cheaper Trackable and notifiable if patients don't exercise.

BEHAVIORALSupervised exercise training group

3/week training supervised by a physical therapist

Intervention model description

Group 1: Wearable watch training group. 3 orientation session Watch notifies 3/week for exercise Benefits of watch: BP and movement sensors allow to validate if the patient has exercised. Videos for exercises. Trackable and notifiable if patients don't exercise. Group 2: Mobile application training group. 3 orientation session App notifies 3/week for exercise Benefits of app: Cheaper Trackable and notifiable if patients don't exercise. Group 3: Supervised exercise training in a fitness center for people with DM.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c)5 minutesIt used as a diagnostic test for diabetes and as assessment test for glycemic control in people with diabetes. It comes in unit of percentage identifies how much glucose is carried on a certain amount of blood. We included people who have 6.5% or more which is the cut point for The International Diabetes Federation and the American College of Endocrinology.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The forced vital capacity10 minutesThe forced vital capacity (FVC) is a measurement of the maximum volume of gas a patient can exhale as forcefully and quickly as possible after a maximal inspiration.Pulmonary function test used to determine forced vital capacity. Breathing multiple times into a spirometry, with regular and maximal effort, through a tube that is connected to a computer. The unit for this test is in volume (L). And it will be analyzed as a continuous variable.
Forced expiratory volume10 minutesForced expiratory volume (FEV) measures how much air a patient can exhale during a forced breath. Pulmonary function test used to determine Forced expiratory volume.The amount of air exhaled is measured during the first (FEV1), second (FEV2), and/or third seconds (FEV3) of the forced breath. The unit for this test is in volume (L). And it will be analyzed as a continuous variable.
Assessment of muscle strength with isokinetic device15 minutesAn assessment of muscle strength is typically performed as part of a patient's objective assessment.
International physical activity questionnaire short form (IPAQ)7 daysThe International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) is used as a comparable and standardised self-report measure of habitual physical activity.
Accelerometer7 daysAccelerometer is a device that measures hours of physical activity in a week. The device was placed on the belt of the participants and was collected back after 7 days. Accelerometer collects data on the three-dimensional angles, which explains the direction, frequency, and magnitude of the movement. Total number of hours of physical activity is used to measure whether participants meet the optimal activity level recommended by physical activity guidelines.
Six-Minute Walk Test6 minThe 6-min walk test (6 MWT) is a submaximal exercise test that entails measurement of distance walked over a span of 6 minutes

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
HDL / LDL5 minutesThe main goal is to lower LDL-cholesterol and increase HDL-cholesterol. Therefore, HDL and LDL were measured before and after the intervention to identify whether our program had an effect on the cholesterol level. The unit is mmol/L and it comes as a continuous variable.
Triglyceride5 minutesTriglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in people' blood. It was also measured to estimate the extent to which our intervention had effect on the blood-fat level. The unit is mmol/L and it comes as a continuous variable.
Behavioural Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire5 minutesThe Behavioural Regulation In Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ) and its subsequent modifications have become the most widely used measures of the continuum of behavioural regulation in exercise psychology research
Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS)5 minutesThe EARS enables the measurement of adherence to prescribed home exercise. This may facilitate the evaluation of interventions promoting self-management for both the prevention and treatment of chronic conditions.
