Exercise Program for Older Adults With Diabetes and Muscle Loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a short, combined exercise program (mixing cardio and strength training) for people 60+ with type 2 diabetes who have signs of muscle loss. The goal is to see if this exercise approach can improve strength, physical function, and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 60 or older with type 2 diabetes for at least 1 year
- Signs of probable muscle loss (sarcopenia) based on specific medical criteria

- Able to understand and communicate clearly, and independently use a smartphone
- No severe heart, lung, kidney, or liver disease, and no recent heart events or fainting
- No severe joint/muscle problems that would prevent safe exercise, and no implanted pacemaker

This study tests whether a special exercise program can help middle-aged and older adults who have both type 2 diabetes and muscle loss. It aims to improve muscle strength, balance, and overall health.
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.
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.
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 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 study looks at how different types of exercise can change the bacteria in your gut for older adults who have muscle loss (sarcopenia). You will be assigned to one of two exercise programs to see which one helps your muscles and gut health the most.
