About this study

Official title: Effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIT) on Insulin Sensitivity in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIT) on insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Physical exercise increases insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle in healthy as well as in individuals with type 2 diabetes, but implies a considerable time commitment. High intensity interval training (HIT) is time-efficient exercise consisting of repeated bouts of short duration high intensive workloads. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of HIT in patients with type 2 diabetes, and to clarify the mechanisms of a possible positive effect of HIT.

Exercise is performed as 2 weeks one-legged training on an ergometer bicycle. Thus one leg serves as a control leg. Insulin sensitivity in trained and non-trained muscle will be measured after completion of the overall training program by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp method and a-v catheterization of both legs. Muscle biopsies will be obtained during training period for measuring of muscle glycogen content, and muscle biopsies for further analysis obtained during the experimental day.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • High intensity interval trainingBehavioural

    Also called High intense interval training, HIT, HIIT

    HIT will be conducted as 2 weeks of one legged high intense interval training (8 sessions every 2nd day). Each training session will consist of 10 x 1 min intervals on ergometer bicycle interspersed with 1 min recovery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Insulin sensitivity

    Insulin sensitivity in trained and non-trained muscle will be measured by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp method and a-v catheterization of both legs.

    Measured: 2 days after last training session (day 17)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High intensity interval training in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Copenhagen at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Insulin sensitivity (time frame: 2 days after last training session (day 17)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01732705, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Feb 2021.
