Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

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.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: HIT (trained leg) DM High intensity interval training for one leg (trained leg) (randomized) in patient with type 2 diabetes |
Behavioral: High intensity interval training
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.
Other Names:

No Intervention: Control leg, DM Control leg (untrained leg)in patient with type 2 diabetes |

Experimental: HIT (trained leg), Control subject High intensity interval training for one leg (trained leg) (randomized) in control subject |
Behavioral: High intensity interval training
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Insulin sensitivity [2 days after last training session (day 17)]
Insulin sensitivity in trained and non-trained muscle will be measured by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp method and a-v catheterization of both legs.
Other Outcome Measures
- Glycogen content in skeletal muscle [17 days. Before and after training session day 1, 7 and 15. Before and immediately after isoglycemic, hyperinsulinemic clamp day 17.]
Analysis of glycogen content from muscle biopsies taken during the training period.
