RECOVER Trial Summary

This trial is testing how well exercise can help people with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes recover from bedrest.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men and women aged 60-80 with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, managed with up to three oral medications and an Hgb A1C < 8.0%. They must have stable cholesterol levels, normal kidney function, be willing to follow the study protocol, and not have had recent major surgery or hospitalization. Exclusions include severe health conditions like active cancer, uncontrolled hypertension, significant heart issues within the last six months, mental impairment (mini-Mental State Examination score < 21), allergies to certain medications including heparin and lidocaine.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how an exercise program can aid muscle recovery after a period of bed rest in older adults with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Participants will undergo a bed rest intervention followed by prescribed exercises to see if this improves their muscle mass, strength, and physical function.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not detailed for this trial as it focuses on exercise training following bed rest rather than drug interventions; general risks may include muscle soreness or strain from exercising.

RECOVER Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Non-Exercise RecoveryExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Older males and females with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Participants in the ambulatory recovery group will not receive any exercise intervention or advice on exercise following 10 days of bed rest. Rather these participants will return to their regular daily routine that they engaged in prior to the bed rest intervention.
Group II: Exercise RecoveryExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Older males and females with pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. We are examining the effects of a recovery exercise program for older adults with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Following 10 days of bed rest and during the first 4 weeks of recovery, participants will perform a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise training.
