Resistance exercise training to improve muscle insulin sensitivity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a structured resistance (strength) exercise program can improve how your muscles respond to insulin, which helps control blood sugar. It might help if you are currently inactive and want to see the benefits of exercise on your metabolic health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently sedentary (not doing regular exercise, less than 30 minutes on 1 or fewer days per week).
- Your weight has been stable for at least the past 3 months.
- You are not participating in a structured exercise program more than one day per week.
- You do not have active heart disease or heart failure.
- You are not using tobacco, not abusing alcohol or drugs, and have no uncontrolled high blood pressure or thyroid issues.
- You are not pregnant and have not gone through menopause (no period for 12 straight months).

This study looks at how muscles respond to exercise in people aged 60 to 85. You will be asked to do some exercises so researchers can measure how your nerves and muscles work together.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training can improve how your body uses insulin. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who are not on insulin and have had diabetes for 1 to 5 years.
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 trial looks at how exercise training affects tiny particles released by muscles and fat cells that help the body communicate. You would do resistance exercise, and researchers will study these particles to see how they might improve metabolism and reduce diabetes risk.
This study looks at how genes affect the way muscles use sugar, which can help understand insulin resistance. Participants will have tests and procedures, including a glucose drink test and a muscle biopsy, to see how their bodies handle sugar.
This trial looks at how physical activity affects how your body responds to insulin in healthy men aged 22-35. If you are a non-smoking man with a BMI between 28 and 35 and a certain fitness level, you may be eligible.
