Home-based Strength Training for Type 2 Diabetes and Mild Cognitive Impairment

This study is looking at a 12-week technology-assisted home-based strength training program for adults aged 55-80 who have Type 2 Diabetes and Mild Cognitive Impairment (a slight decline in memory or thinking skills). The program involves 50-minute exercise sessions three times a week, starting with supervision and gradually becoming more independent. We want to see if this program is practical to do at home and if people will stick with it. To join, you need to have Type 2 Diabetes for at least 5 years and have Mild Cognitive Impairment, confirmed by a specific test (Montreal Cognitive Assessment or MoCA scores of 18-25). This study is currently recruiting 20 participants.

Study design
This is a single-arm study, meaning everyone receives the same intervention. It's a feasibility study with 20 planned participants.
What's involved
You would participate in a 12-week exercise program with 50-minute sessions, three times a week, gradually transitioning from supervised to independent sessions.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The study assesses outcomes at Week 13, which is the end of the intervention and final assessment.

  • Feasibility of Technology-Assisted Home-Based Exercise ProgramWeek 13 (end of intervention and final assessment)

    Feasibility will be assessed as the proportion of enrolled participants who complete the full 12-week home-based exercise intervention. The completion rate is calculated as the number of participants who complete the intervention divided by the total number of enrolled participants, expressed as a percentage (0% to 100%). A completion rate of ≥80% is considered indicative of acceptable feasibility.

  • Acceptability of Technology-Assisted Home-Based Exercise ProgramWeek 13 (end of intervention and final assessment)

    Acceptability will be evaluated using exercise adherence, defined as the percentage of prescribed exercise sessions completed during the 12-week intervention period. Adherence will be calculated using data collected from technology monitoring systems and participant self-report logs. Adherence values range from 0% to 100%, with ≥70% adherence considered acceptable.
