The Effectiveness of Resistance Training on Glycemic Control for Patients With Type 2 Diabetes in Cardiac Rehabilitation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is designed to investigate the effect of a structured resistance training program on glycemic control, measured by hemoglobin A1c (glycated hemoglobin), in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who are enrolled in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation. The investigator will compare the experimental group receiving resistance training to a control group made of patients enrolled in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation and perform 3 aerobic exercise modalities during their sessions, which is the current standard of care.

Active Comparator: Group 1 Resistance Training Group Participants will perform 3 exercises, one of which will be a series of 7 muscle-strengthening exercises using body weight resistance and elastic resistance bands + 36 sessions of a standard cardiac rehabilitation program consisting of monitored exercise, nutritional guidance, and heart-healthy lifestyle education three times weekly. |
Other: Resistance Training
7 muscle-strengthening exercises using body weight resistance and elastic resistance bands

Active Comparator: Group 2 Standard of Care Participants will perform 3 exercises that do not include the 7 muscle-strengthening exercises + 36 sessions of a standard cardiac rehabilitation program consisting of monitored exercise, nutritional guidance, and heart-healthy lifestyle education three times weekly. |
Other: Standard of Care
3 exercises that do not include these 7 muscle-strengthening exercises
