NCT ID NCT04634890
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a 3-month supervised exercise program can improve blood sugar, body fat, and fitness in sedentary men aged 35-65 with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or overweight. Participants exercised at a fitness center under supervision. The goal was to see how different stages of blood sugar problems respond to exercise. The study is complete, and results will show if exercise alone can help manage these conditions.
