IS SHORT-DURATION, HIGH-INTENSITY-INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT) SUPERIOR TO POPULATION-BASED MODERATE-INTENSITY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY GUIDELINES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES? A PILOT STUDY
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
With the rapid shift to virtual care, this pilot study aims to determine the feasibility of prescribing low-duration, interval-based training through virtual care. If successful, this study will inform a larger randomized control trial to determine if the prescription of low-duration interval-based training improves chronic disease through the measurement of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), and weight to a greater extent than the general guideline to aim for 150 minutes of PA weekly.
Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 18
Healthy Volunteers: t
View:
• adults, at least 18 years of age
• non-pregnant
• having a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in accordance with the 2018 Diabetes Canada Clinical Practice Guidelines
• capable of consenting
• deemed capable and safe to exercise by their physician (Dr. Fernando)
• without a medical history of myocardial infarction in the past three months.
This PA intervention will be primarily self-directed by the patients themselves. Each participant will receive a 1-page double-sided handout detailing their PA protocol. Participants in this arm will receive a CSEP handout (page 4\&5 from: http://csep.ca/CMFiles/Guidelines/CSEP\_PAGuidelines\_0-65plus\_en.pdf) detailing their PA recommendations.Participants will be instructed to follow their PA protocol, while noting down which days they completed the PA using a log booklet provided to them by Dr. Fernando (their family physician). Participants will be provided with the phone number for a research assistant who is a lifestyle coach and co-investigator on this trial. If participants have questions about their PA protocol, the research assistant will respond to these over the phone.
Experimental: High-Intensity Interval Training Physical Activity (PA) Advice
This PA intervention will be primarily self-directed by the patients themselves. Each participant will receive a 1-page double-sided handout detailing their PA protocol. Participants in this arm will receive a High-Intensity-Interval-Training (HIIT) handout (developed based on research from Dr. Martin Gibala) detailing their PA recommendations. Participants will be instructed to follow their PA protocol, while noting down which days they completed the PA using a log booklet provided to them by Dr. Fernando (their family physician). Participants will be provided with the phone number for a research assistant who is a lifestyle coach and co-investigator on this trial. If participants have questions about their PA protocol, the research assistant will respond to these over the phone.
