Brief Summary

Background: Recently, high intensity interval training (HIIT) has emerged as a promising regimen for the management of type 2 diabetic subjects. However, there is no consensus on the best time for HIIT regarding nutritional status. Purpose: to investigate the effect of fasted versus postprandial HIIT training on glycemic control in men with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Methods: This study enrolled 123 subjects suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus with ages between 40 and 60 years. Subjects were divided into 4 groups, The post-breakfast, post-lunch and post-dinner groups practiced HIIT 2h after breakfast, lunch, and dinner respectively. The HIIT program involved 3 sessions weekly for 12 weeks. Glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and blood lipid values were evaluated pre- and post-intervention.

Interventions

The subjects in the four groups performed 12 weeks of supervised HIIE program on a motorized treadmill (h/p/cosmos, Pulsar 4.0, Nussdorf-Traunstein, Germany) with a rate of three sessions weekly. The session commenced with a 5 min warming-up and concluded with a 5 min cooling down period. The exercise effort component consisted of 5 intervals of HIIT. Each interval continues for four min of HIIT with exercise intensity ranging from 75% to 90% of the peak heart rate. Each active recovery period between exercise intervals included moderate exercise at intensity of 50% to 60% of the peak heart rate. Every 3 weeks, the exercise intensity was increased by 5% starting with 75% of the HRmax in the first 3 weeks, 80% in the following 3 weeks and progressed to 90% the HRmax in the last 3 weeks. The subject's heart rate throughout the HIIT session was monitored using a polar heart rate monitor (Polar, Kempele, Finland).

Model Details: A total of 160 men with T2DM were recruited from nearby hospitals and clinics to participate in this study and 123 completed the study follow-up. A licensed physician performed the preliminary evaluation for all participants. Participants were instructed to maintain their medications, their usual dietary habits and usual physical activity throughout the study period. Only men diagnosed with T2DM, aged 40-60 years and inactive (performing less than 150 min/week of moderate-intensity exercise for at least the last six months) were included in this study. Subjects treated with exogenous insulin, and those with cardiovascular or musculoskeletal diseases limiting participation in HIIT were excluded. Eligible subjects were randomly assigned to one of four groups. The Fasted-group practiced HIIT prebreakfast in the fasted state (8-12 h fasting). The Post-breakfast, Post-lunch and Post-dinner groups practiced HIIT 2h after breakfast, lunch, and dinner respectively. The primary outcome was gly
