Summary
This study looks at whether doing resistance exercise with different levels of effort can improve blood sugar control in people with prediabetes. 48 adults aged 18 to 75 with prediabetes will be assigned to either high-effort or low-effort resistance training. Researchers will measure blood sugar levels and how well participants stick with the program.
