First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in 28 adults with type 2 diabetes. Over 12 weeks, researchers will measure how each exercise affects functional mobility, muscle strength, and quality of life. The goal is to find which approach works best for improving daily movement and well-being.

Active substance

exercise training (high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training)

What this could lead to

If this trial succeeds, it could show which type of exercise is better for helping people with type 2 diabetes move easier, get stronger, and feel better day-to-day.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise interventions also depend on people sticking with the program, which can be challenging.
