This study is looking into whether Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) can help improve metabolism in people with insulin resistance. You might be able to join if you are between 18 and 65 years old, are overweight or obese (BMI of 25 or higher), and have a sedentary lifestyle (meaning you don't do much physical activity). The study will test different approaches: NMES at a sensory level, NMES at a maximum tolerable level, or resistance training, or a combination. Researchers will measure your blood sugar control after 8 weeks to see if these interventions are helpful. The study aims to enroll 80 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study that will randomly assign participants to one of four groups. It plans to enroll 80 participants.

What's involved

You will wear an accelerometer for 7 days, follow a standardized diet, and then participate in an 8-week intervention of electrical stimulation (30 minutes/day, 3 times/week) or resistance training.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Your glycemic control will be measured at 8 weeks after the intervention begins.
