Summary

This study compares two different strength training schedules—non-linear and linear periodization—in people with type 2 diabetes. Over 8 weeks, 48 participants will do supervised workouts three times a week or receive usual care. Researchers will measure changes in exercise capacity, muscle strength, quality of life, body composition, and metabolic health to see which approach is better.
