Summary

This study tested whether doing aerobic exercise at home with remote supervision (tele-exercise) works as well as exercising in a hospital for people with prediabetes. Forty-two adults with prediabetes walked for 30 minutes, five days a week, for three weeks. One group exercised at home with a heart rate monitor and phone calls, another group exercised at the hospital, and a control group exercised at home without monitoring. The researchers measured changes in blood sugar control, fitness, and quality of life.
