Study Summary
This trial will compare the effects of prolonged sitting vs. breaking it up with short walks on markers of heart health in both men & women.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 60 with Type 2 diabetes who are mostly inactive, sitting for more than 6 hours a day. It's not for those on dialysis, with a history of DVT, unstable conditions, recent hormone therapy changes, meeting exercise guidelines, physical disabilities affecting movement, Type 1 diabetes or uncontrolled high blood pressure.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how breaking up sitting time affects heart health in older adults with Type 2 diabetes. Participants will try three different routines: just sitting for four hours; walking five minutes every hour; and one longer walk of twenty minutes during the four hours.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves basic activities like walking at your own pace and periods of rest without any medication involved, side effects are minimal but could include typical exercise-related issues such as muscle soreness.
