Study of age-related insulin resistance and exercise
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old.
- You are usually inactive or, if you exercise, you have a highly trained routine.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40.
- You do not smoke.
- You do not have diabetes, but you may have normal sugar levels or “impaired glucose tolerance” (mild pre-diabetes).
- You must be willing and able to follow the study’s schedule, including exercise testing.

This study checks if exercise training changes how your brain responds to insulin. You will do ergometer (stationary bike) training, and your brain activity will be measured before and after. It's for people who are not very active now and want to see how exercise affects brain metabolism.
This study looks at how eating or daily habits that promote weight gain (“obesogenic” lifestyle) affect fitness and health markers in young adults who already exercise. It may help researchers understand what lifestyle changes matter most, and whether certain patterns affect active people differently.
This study looks at how different older adults respond to exercise. It will help researchers understand why some people benefit more than others. You will be asked to do supervised exercise sessions and tests over about 6 months.
This study follows adults over time to understand how weight and body chemistry relate to insulin resistance. It may help researchers learn why insulin resistance happens and what could prevent or improve it.
This study looks at how your metabolism (how your body uses energy and controls blood sugar/fats) changes during weight loss, comparing weight loss alone versus weight loss plus exercise. It may help researchers understand what body changes happen with different approaches and why.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
