To compare the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) on functional mobility, muscle strength, and quality of life in individuals with type-2-diabetes.
Comparing the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on functional mobility, muscle strength, and quality of life in diabetic patients is important due to the increasing burden of diabetes and its associated complications. Diabetes often leads to reduced physical function, muscle weakness, and poor quality of life. While both HIIT and MICT have demonstrated positive effects on health outcomes, it is not yet clear which exercise regimen offers superior benefits for improving mobility, strength, and overall well-being in diabetic individuals.

While both HIIT and MICT have demonstrated positive effects on health outcomes, it is not yet clear which exercise regimen offers superior benefits for improving mobility, strength, and overall well-being in diabetic individuals. Understanding this can guide the development of more effective exercise protocols for diabetes management.

TUG timed up go test
Functional mobility is evaluated by the TUG test. The TUG test has revealed very high test-retest reliability among patients with diabetes, as shown by the ICC values from 0.93 to 0.99
Time frame: baseline pre exam, 6th week of intervention, and 12th week
Hand Grip Strength Test
To assess the power of muscles a dynamometer used to test the gripping power of participants making an objective estimate of the strength of the muscles in the upper body. This method had the same validity as that of the whole functional capacity in diabetic populations, with coefficients of 0.70 to 0.85 being most common
Time frame: baseline pre exam, 6th week of intervention, and 12th week
Chair Stand Test
In order to evaluate again the strength of the lower limb muscles. The individuals were measured how fast they could stand up from a chair and sit down again and again, which is an indicator of muscle endurance and functional strength. The test has shown really high reliability in diabetic populations with ICC values being around 0.85 to 0.91.
Time frame: baseline pre exam, 6th week of intervention, and 12th week
The Borg 6-20 Scale
The Borg 6-20 scale used to measure the rate of perceived exertion. It has a strong relationship with heart rate and oxygen consumption with the range of correlation coefficients between 0.80 and 0.88 for diabetic individuals. The Borg RPE scale in T2DM has a test-retest reliability indicated by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of about 0.85 to 0.92, which means that people give similar ratings of their exertion consistently across repeated sessions in similar exercise conditions
Time frame: baseline pre exam, 6th week of intervention, and 12th week
WHOQOL-BREF Questionnaire
The WHOQOL-BREF is a universal instrument that measures the quality of life in different aspects such as physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. In patients with diabetes, the WHOQOL-BREF reveals a strong internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.76 to 0.88
