This study is looking at how a 12-week exercise program affects how your body uses protein if you have Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Researchers will compare 15 older adults (65 years or older) with T2D to 15 older adults without T2D. The exercise program involves moderate-to-vigorous aerobic and strength training 2-3 times a week. The main goal is to understand how exercise changes protein efficiency in people with T2D. To join, you must be at least 65 years old, have a BMI between 25-40, and not have done structured exercise in the past 6 months. If you have T2D, you need a physician diagnosis with an HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar over time) greater than 6. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is a randomized controlled trial involving 30 participants, split into two groups: 15 with Type 2 Diabetes and 15 without. Participants will undergo a 12-week exercise program.

What's involved

You would participate in a 12-week progressive exercise training program 2-3 times per week. This includes pre- and post-testing with body composition measures, glucose tolerance tests, fitness tests, and dietary protein efficiency assessments involving drinks, urine, and breath samples.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary endpoint is measured from enrollment to the end of the 12-week intervention, so follow-up is for 12 weeks.
