An interventional study of high intensity body-weight circuit in Type2diabetes, sponsored by Kennesaw State University. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-05.

This research study proposes to quantify the efficacy of the novel high intensity body-weight circuit (HIBC) training intervention on metabolic profile, body composition, and health related fitness exercise in middle aged persons with type-2 diabetes (T2DM). This research project is extremely relevant to public health, in that prevalence of T2DM continues to rise on a national and global scale, placing a heavy economic cost on both the healthcare industry and the individual patient in an age-dependent fashion. Results of this study may provide an effective and appealing alternative exercise intervention for cardiometabolic disease management in adults with T2DM, and have significant clinical and public health applications.

Exclusion Criteria:
Those who have undergone any revascularization procedure
HIBC Exercise Protocol- circuit repetition and order is as follows: modified squats (10 repetitions), modified rows (5 repetitions), crunches (10), and modified push-ups (5). The exercise sessions will involve repeating a series of repetitions of each movement in sequence, and completing as many sequences as possible in good form in the time allotted for the exercise (initially, 5 minutes). Three sessions per week will be completed at home. After three weeks of training, participants will be asked to add a fourth session each week. Initially, the HIBC sessions will be five minutes long, and the duration of the sessions will increase by one minute each week as tolerated beginning in week four, peaking at 10-minutes per session (warm up not included in this timing) as early as the eighth week of training. Session duration will be capped at 10-minutes.
Behavioral: high intensity body-weight circuit
Bodyweight and suspension training equipment (TRX® Fit System) with modified movements. Modified Squats: participants will be instructed to hold the handles of the band with arms extended, participants will then lean back in a standing position and perform a squat within a comfortable range of motion while weight is being distributed to the band. Modified Rows: participants will grab the bands with arms and legs extended. They will find a comfortable angle by which to perform a "row" (pulling the handles to the rib cage) with arms at a 45-degree angle. Modified Push-Ups: perform push-ups on their knees with a flat back and hands underneath their shoulders. They will be instructed to lower their chest towards the ground in a controlled manner and as far as comfort will allow them. Modified Crunches: participants will lay on their back with feet approximately 8-10 inches from their buttocks, and asked to lift their shoulders slightly off the ground.
HbA1c change within participant
HbA1c (glycosylated Hemoglobin) indicates what the blood glucose environment was like for that past 3-months. This is the average life span of a red blood cell. High levels of blood glucose over a 3 month period lead to high HbA1c and vis versa. HbA1c can change as early as 14 weeks.
