NCT03940937

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure and link cadence (number of steps taken in a minute) to intensity of physical activity (e.g., low-intensity, moderate intensity, vigorous-intensity) in adults (40- 65 years-old) with type 2 diabetes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Cadence (steps/min)

    Cadence (steps/min) as assessed by direct observation of steps (hand-tallied counts) divided by time

    Through completion of the treadmill walking protocol that occurs during the study visit (approximately 1 hour)

  • Oxygen consumption (VO2; mL/kg/min)

    The amount of oxygen consumed, as measured with indirect calorimetry, expressed per unit of body mass

    Through completion of the treadmill walking protocol that occurs during the study visit (approximately 1 hour)

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

A convenience sample from the surrounding community consisting of twenty 40-65 yr old adults (10 men, 10 women) with pharmacologically-controlled type 2 diabetes (not using insulin). Participants must self-report being non-active (less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per day for most days of the week) and to have an HbA1c not at goal (therefore \>7%) in the past 6 months.

You may qualify if:

  • Able to ambulate on a treadmill (self-reported)
  • Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (self-reported)
  • Self-report participating in less than 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per day for most days of the week
  • Able to fast for at least 4 hours prior to study visit involving the treadmill protocol
  • Self-report having an HbA1c measure greater than 7% in the past 6 months

You may not qualify if:

  • BMI - \<18.5kg/m² or \>40kg/m²
  • Tobacco use - Currently a smoker or have smoked tobacco within the past 6 months.
  • Insulin - Those with type 2 diabetes being controlled with insulin
  • Ambulatory ability - Since the focus herein is on ambulatory activities, participants who use wheelchairs or other impairments that prevent normal ambulation will be excluded. This criterion is similar to that used by NHANES when selecting individuals (up to 85 years of age) to wear motion sensors.
  • Resting Blood Pressure - Systolic blood pressure greater than 159 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure greater than 99mmHg
  • Abnormal resting ECG (evaluated by physician) will be advised to see personal physician (participant provided with resting ECG results)
  • Any condition/medication that may affect heart rate response to exercise testing.
  • Current participation in any other study protocol which involves taking an experimental medication
  • Hospitalization for mental illness within the past 5 years.
  • Previous history of, or clinical symptoms or signs of, cardiovascular disease, stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), chest pain, unusual dyspnea during physical activity/ exercise, severe ankle edema, or intermittent claudication.
  • Previous history of musculoskeletal injuries or problems causing severe pain during physical activity or exercise which interferes with daily activities.
  • Participant experiences dizziness or balance impairment at rest or with exercise
  • Participant is currently treated for kidney disease with dialysis, or has severe liver damage? (e.g., liver cirrhosis)
  • Participant has a pacemaker or other implanted medical device (including metal joint replacements).
  • Participant has chronic lung problems that make it difficult to breathe (e.g., Chronic Respiratory Diseases, Cystic Fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease \[COPD\] or uses supplemental O2)
  • +6 more criteria
