Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to verify the effects of resistance training on neuromuscular, vascular and functional adaptations of elderly diabetics type 2. Half of participants will be the intervention group that will perform resistance training, while the other half will be the control group that will perform stretching sessions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Resistance training may be an interesting strategy to fight diabetes deleterious conditions, as it is known to increase muscle mass and quality, strength, functional capacity, vascular health, and decrease inflammation status and blood lipids, besides leading to improves in glycemic control. To test this hypothesis, 42 diabetic patients will be recruited and randomized to two groups that will be evaluated before and after 12 weeks of both intervention or control period. The resistance training group will perform all body resistance exercises three times per week, while the control group will perform a stretching session one time per week.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Resistance training

Resistance training will be performed three times a week, for 12 weeks, composed by 12 resistance exercises for all body muscles with 2-3 series and 12-8 repetitions in each exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Resistance training

Intervention Type OTHER

The resistance training will be compound by 12 exercises for all body muscles, performed three times per week. The intensity of training will be measure by maximum repetitions from 12 until 8 repetitions with 2-3 series. The loads will increase for keep the maximum strength as the capacity of patients. The blood pressure and the casual glycemic will be measure before and after the training in each session. Before to start the exercises, patients will perform a warming on treadmill for 10 minutes and after the training will perform some stretching exercises for muscles groups trained.

Stretching control

The control group will perform one stretching session a week.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Stretching control

Intervention Type OTHER

The stretching session will be composed by stretching and joint mobilization exercises for all body muscles and will happen only one time per week.
