TrainMeUpMN Trial Summary

This trial is testing how different types of exercise affect how the body processes fat and how this affects insulin resistance. It is looking specifically at the effects of weight and training on insulin resistance. The trial will study people before and after supervised aerobic or yoga training and test these differences using stable isotopes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people aged 18-40, with a BMI of 25 to 40 kg/m2. It's open to those who are overweight or obese and insulin resistant but generally healthy. Participants should be sedentary (exercising less than 30 minutes per week) or lean and physically active (3-5 aerobic sessions per week), with stable weight for the past three months.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares fat and sugar metabolism in individuals before and after they complete either a supervised treadmill running program or a yoga training program. The goal is to understand how these activities affect insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly listed, potential side effects may include typical exercise-related risks such as muscle strain, fatigue, joint pain from the running program; yoga might cause muscle soreness or stretching-related injuries.
