Acute effects of different "exercise snacking'' modalities on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Impaired glycemic control, a sedentary lifestyle and diabetes related consequences are common challenges faced by experts and individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Although regular exercise has been shown to improve glycemic control in individuals with T2DM, conventional exercise recommendations are not always feasible for patients due to time constraints. Therefore, "exercise snacking'', which involves short bouts of exercise interspersed throughout the day, has emerged as a potential alternative to traditional exercise regimes. However, optimal intensity, amount, frequency and/or type of "exercise snacking'' for individuals with T2DM remains unclear. The purpose of this three-arm randomized crossover study is to examine the acute effects of different "exerc
