Video-Call workouts tested for diabetes management
NCT ID NCT06222086
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether doing calisthenic exercises (like bodyweight moves) through video calls with a physiotherapist could improve oxygen use, muscle health, and physical activity in adults with type 2 diabetes. Forty participants completed the program, exercising 30-45 minutes, three days a week for six weeks. The goal was to see if this convenient, home-based approach could help manage the condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- calisthenic exercise training with telerehabilitation
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could offer a convenient, home-based exercise program to help manage type 2 diabetes and improve fitness.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Exercise at home may have safety risks like low blood sugar.
