What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the impact of two different exercise protocols, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT), on various health metrics in individuals at risk for diabetes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two exercise groups after providing informed consent. The study will assess changes in body composition, aerobic capacity, blood lipid profiles, biomarkers, quality of life, and exercise beliefs. The goal is to determine which exercise regimen is more effective in improving health outcomes for prediabetic individuals.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are sedentary individuals aged 18-60 with a HbA1c value between 5.7%-6.4% and a BMI greater than 24.9 kg/m².
Not a fit: Patients who are on insulin or derivative drugs, have uncontrolled hypertension, or have a history of heart disease, myocardial infarction, or stroke may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into effective exercise strategies for preventing the progression of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with exercise interventions in prediabetic populations, suggesting that this approach is promising.
