Strength training for older adults with diabetes and muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a specific strength-training program (called progressive resistance training) can help older adults with both type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia (muscle loss) improve muscle strength and overall function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 60 and 80 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes, and your last HbA1c was between 7.0% and 8.5% (moderate blood sugar control).
- You have been diagnosed with sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle mass and strength).
- You do not have any recent or severe muscle, joint, or nerve pain that limits movement.
- You do not have serious heart or kidney disease, or a history of stroke with weakness.

This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people 60 and older who have had type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years. It aims to understand how diabetes might affect muscle health.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This study tests whether adding a resveratrol supplement to a strength training program helps improve muscle health in people aged 60 and older. It is designed for those who are not currently active in strength exercises.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
