Summary

This trial is comparing the effect of different levels of effort during a resistance exercise session on blood glucose levels in people with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. The trial aims to answer whether high effort

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes who are interested in how different levels of effort during resistance exercise affect their blood glucose. Participants should be familiar with the exercises and able to commit to multiple sessions.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether a high-effort or low-effort resistance exercise session can improve blood glucose levels compared to no exercise at all. It also examines participants' enjoyment and discomfort after exercising at different intensities.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical exercise, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and general discomfort associated with exertion. The intensity of these side effects could vary based on the level of effort.
