Short exercise program for older adults with diabetes and muscle loss
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a short exercise program that combines aerobic activity (like walking) with strength exercises to help older adults with diabetes and likely muscle loss. Participating may help you gain strength and better manage your diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years of age or older.
- You have had type 2 diabetes for at least one year.
- You do less than 150 minutes of moderate exercise (like brisk walking) each week.
- You can communicate well and use a smartphone on your own or with just a little help.
- You do not already have a confirmed diagnosis of sarcopenia, severe heart problems, or other serious health conditions that would make exercise unsafe.

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 tests a special exercise program designed for older adults who are frail or have muscle loss. The goal is to help improve strength and daily function, and participating may help you stay independent longer.
This study tests a home-based exercise and rehabilitation program delivered through your phone to help improve muscle strength, walking speed, and function in people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The goal is to see if remote (online) rehabilitation is as effective as in-person sessions.
This trial tests whether exercise and a supplement called HMB (a protein building block) can help older adults with type 2 diabetes and low muscle mass improve their muscle strength and physical function. It aims to find a safe and effective way to keep you strong and independent.
