Study summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of moderate versus high intensity exercise training on physical fitness and physical function in patients with type 2 diabetes. The research hypothesis is that high intensity exercise training will be superior to moderate intensity on such outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Inclusion criteria

  • All participants meet the American Diabetes Association diagnostic criteria for type 2 diabetes.
  • A physician must consider each participant to be medically stable to participate in this investigation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any individual with a history of a medical condition identified by the American Heart Association as an absolute to exercise testing is excluded from this study.
  • Any individual with angina (stable or unstable), uncontrolled hypertension, proliferative retinopathy, severe peripheral neuropathy, nephropathy, autonomic neuropathy, history of coronary artery disease, history of myocardial infarction, or unable to participate in this study due to a physical impairment is excluded from this investigation.
  • Any individual involved in resistance training or aerobic training within 3 months of the beginning of this investigation is excluded.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 3, 2014, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
