Calisthenic exercise training for patients with type 2 diabetes
Investigation of the Effects of Calisthenic Exercises Performed With Telerehabilitation on Oxygen Consumption, Muscle Oxygenation and Physical Activity in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
This study is testing whether a home-based calisthenic exercise program can help people with type 2 diabetes improve their fitness and reduce heart risks.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of calisthenic exercise training on patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It aims to improve physical activity levels and cardiorespiratory fitness through a telerehabilitation approach, allowing participants to engage in exercise from home without the need for equipment. The study will compare the outcomes of those participating in the exercise program against a control group to assess improvements in oxygen consumption and muscle oxygen utilization. By focusing on enhancing exercise tolerance, the study seeks to reduce cardiovascular risks associated with T2DM.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18-65 who have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and are able to walk and cooperate with the exercise program.
Not a fit: Patients with a body mass index over 40 kg/m2, significant lung disease, or serious complications from diabetes may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the physical fitness and overall health of patients with type 2 diabetes, potentially reducing their risk of cardiovascular disease.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with exercise interventions in diabetes management, suggesting that this approach may be effective.
