The Effect of Exercise Training Intensity in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

University of Central Arkansas21 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of moderate versus high intensity exercise training on physical fitness and physical function in patients with type 2 diabetes. The research hypothesis is that high intensity exercise training will be superior to moderate intensity on such outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
