About this study

Study group included 30 male diabetic patients , they performed circuit weight training exercises for 12 weeks in addition to their medications. However, the control group included 10 patients received medical treatment.

Interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha were measured before and after the study duration for both groups.

Read the detailed description

The study group included 30 male diabetic patients who participated in circuit weight training (CWT) program as following; 60 minutes training\day for 3 days per week for a period of 12 weeks.

The training session started by a proper warm up for 5-10 min in the form of mild stretching of the muscles of upper limb(pectorals,shoulder girdle muscles) and muscles of lower limb(flexors, extensors, abductors and adductors of the hip and knee) ( to minimize the risk of musculoskeletal injury). Then start the active phase of resisted exercises through using free weights ( dumbbels for upper limb and sand bags for lower limb) The frequency and intensity increased gradually as follows; Intensity of progress of CWT gradually increased intensity by 2.5% of one repetition maximum every two weeks. Moderate resistance used in which of 60-65% of 1RM in the first month then the intensity increased to 70-75% of 1RM in the second month and finally the intensity of exercises increased to 75-80% of 1RM during the third month. The sets of exercises intervened by 1 min rest in between each set of repetitions. At last the session ends by 10 min of cooling down in the form of relaxation exercises.

Statistical procedures:

In this study, the descriptive statistics (the mean, the standard deviation, maximum, minimum, and range) will be calculated for all subjects in the study including IL6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha variables.

  • Paired sample t-test will be used to compare the difference between before and after treatment results of IL6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha in each group.
  • Paired T test to compare means of variables before and after training.

study group and control groupExperimentalTwo groups; study group included 30 diabetic male patients who where trained by circuit weight training program in the form of sets of resistance exercises (in the form of dumbbells and sand bags) for the muscles of lower limb and upper limb .The training sessions were performed 3 days per week for a period of 12 weeks. All patient were on their prescribed routine medications . The control group were on there prescribed medications only .

What is being measured

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

  1. concentration of serum intereukin6

    Laboratory investigation to assess inflammatory marker response to circuit weight training program in male diabetic patients. training was three times weekly for 12 weeks.

    Measured: change from baseline and after 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. concentration of serum tumour necrosis factor

    Laboratory investigation to assess inflammatory marker response to circuit weight training program in male diabetic patients. training was three times weekly for 12 weeks.

    Measured: change from baseine and after 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing circuit weight training program in people with Diabetes Mellitus, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 6 Nov 2018. 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 Egypt. 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?

concentration of serum intereukin6 (time frame: change from baseline and after 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Nov 2018.
