Effects of Different Types of Exercise in Type 2 Diabetes (RAED2)
Comparison of Aerobic and Resistance Training Effects on Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Meta-analyses of studies which evaluated the effects of interventions based upon structured exercise programs in patients with type 2 diabetes show that regular physical activity may improve glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) by 0.6-0.7%. Most studies assessed the effects of aerobic exercise. However, recent data suggest that resistance training may result in similar effects. It seems likely that these beneficial results are obtained through different molecular mechanisms by aerobic training and resistance training. Consequently, these exercise modalities could be synergistic in improving the metabolic abnormalities in these subjects. On the other hand, comparison data are very limited.
Aims of the protocol are to compare the effects of aerobic training or resistance training on the metabolic control of type 2 diabetes and to investigate some potential pathophysiologic and molecular mechanisms underlying these effects.
The study will be carried out in 40 sedentary type 2 diabetic patients without diabetic complications, aged 40-70 yr, with body mass index (BMI) between 24-36 kg/m2 and HbA1c between 6.5-9.0%. Admitted diabetes treatments will be diet and oral hypoglycemic agents.
Subjects will be assigned, by a randomization schedule weighted by baseline BMI and fitness, to 2 groups of supervised exercise: aerobic training or resistance training. Training programs will have a similar volume and will be scheduled in three 60 min sessions per week for 4 months. During the study subjects will be instructed to follow an isocaloric diet. Before and at the end of the exercise training the following will be assessed: HbA1c (primary outcome), plasma glucose, lipid profile, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity (glucose clamp), body composition (Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, DEXA), liver and muscle fat content (magnetic resonance imaging), expression in the muscle of some genes involved in ATP production, mitochondrial biogenesis and substrate utilization, markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and early vascular damage, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) during a maximal exercise test, other exercise tests, tissue oxygen extraction during exercise (Near-infrared spectroscopy, NIRS), energy expenditure and physical activity in daily life (metabolic Holter and questionnaire). Monitoring of blood glucose will also be carried out over a 48h period, comprising an exercise session (Continuous Glucose Monitoring System).
Metabolic features, exercise tests, body composition, daily physical activity and expression of relevant genes in the muscle will also be assessed 1 yr after completion of the training programs, to establish whether some changes may persist over time.

---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: Aerobic Exercise
The aerobic training group will use cardiovascular training devices.
|
The aerobic training group will exercise on cardiovascular training equipment.
The workload will be gradually increased up to 60% of the reserve heart rate.
Subjects will exercise 3 times per week for 60 min in the Fitness Centre of the Exercise and Sport Science School.
Training will be carried out in small groups, under the supervision of personal trainers.
During the study subjects will be instructed to follow an isocaloric diet.
|
EXPERIMENTAL: Resistance Exercise
The resistance training group will perform exercises on weight machines and free weights.
|
The resistance training group will perform different exercises on weight machines and free weights to exercise upper and lower extremity muscles.
Participants will perform 8-10 different exercises each session, alternating abdominal, upper and lower extremity exercises.
Subjects will exercise 3 times per week for 60 min in the Fitness Centre of the Exercise and Sport Science School.
Training will be carried out in small groups, under the supervision of personal trainers.
During the study subjects will be instructed to follow an isocaloric diet.
