Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week virtual exercise program called Vivo could improve leg strength and blood sugar levels in sedentary older adults with prediabetes. 74 people aged 60 and older participated, meeting twice a week online with a trainer. The goal was to see if this home-based program could help prevent progression to diabetes and reduce muscle loss.
