Intervention(s) planned

The intervention will be conducted at the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka (Gymnasium and Allied Health Sciences Unit Faculty of Medicine).

The study will have 2 intervention groups (A, B) and a control (C) group. Participants will be recruited in a roll-in method and allocated to each group using covariate-adaptive randomization.

Participants of Group A will undergo an individually supervised progressive resistance exercise program. Exercise sessions lasting 60-75 minutes will take place twice a week for a total of 12 weeks.

Participants of Group B will undergo an individually supervised progressive aerobic exercise program. Exercise sessions lasting 60-75 minutes will take place twice a week for a total of 12 weeks.

The control will not have any exercise program but will receive standard treatment of medications and nutritional advice.


Inclusion criteria

  1. Males and females aged 35-60 years.
  2. Sri Lankan origin.
  3. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus within the last 6 years.

Exclusion criteria

  1. Blood Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels <7.0 % or >11.5%.
  2. History of significant cardiovascular (ischemic heart disease etc.), respiratory (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease etc) or musculoskeletal diseases (osteoarthritis of major joints etc).
  3. On insulin or thiazolidinedione therapy/other than standard oral hypoglycemic agents (metformin / sulfonylureas.).
  4. Any advanced diabetes induced end-stage organ damage (vascular, retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, retinal hemorrhage or detachment, history of laser therapy).
  5. People with a cognitive impairment, an intellectual disability, or a mental illness.
  6. Current participation in supervised Resistance Training or Aerobic Training.
  7. Engaged in Resistance Training in previous 6 months.
  8. Pregnancy.


Primary outcome(s)

1.
  1. Absolute change in HbA1c
  2. Absolute change in total body fat percentage values [measured using Dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DEXA) full body scan].
[

At baseline, and at the end of 12 weeks (following 24 exercise sessions).

]

Secondary outcome(s)

1.
  1. Plasma lipid profile
  2. Liver profile
  3. Muscle strength:Percentage (%) change in One Repetition Maximum (1RM).
  4. Lean mass: Dual energy x ray absorptiometry (DEXA) full body scan.
  5. Blood pressure
  6. Cardiovascular endurance: McArdle Step test and YMCA cycle ergometer test.
  7. Quality of life: SF-36 quality-of-life outcomes questionnaire
  8. Change in food preference measured by the Leeds Food Preference Questionnaire (LFPQ)
[

Outcomes 1-7 will be assessed at baseline and at the end of the 12 weeks of intervention.

Outcome 8 will be assessed pre-and post-exercise session at baseline and at the final session (end of 12 weeks).
