Brief Summary: This randomised controlled trial aims to investigate a resistance training program for improving glycemic control, muscle mass, strength and functional performance in older patients with Type II Diabetes (T2 DM). 60 subjects will be randomly allocated to either a muscle strengthening group or a no exercise control group. Muscle strengthening group will receive resistance training 3 times per week (1 hour/session). The control group will not receive any training but can continue usual medical care and daily activities. Primary outcomes: glycemic control and lipid profile Secondary outcomes: muscle mass and strength, and functional capacity Data will be collected at baseline (pre-test) and after a 4-month intervention (post-test).
Detailed Description: This study aims to investigate a resistance training program for improving glycemic control, muscle mass, strength and functional performance in older patients with Type II Diabetes (T2 DM). This is a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial. 60 subjects will be randomly allocated to either a muscle strengthening group or a no exercise control group. Information on demographic characteristics, body composition, muscle strength, functional capacity and glycemic control will be collected at baseline (pre-test) and after a 4-month intervention (post-test). Muscle strengthening group will receive resistance training 3 times per week (1 hour/session). The control group will not receive any training but can continue usual medical care and daily activities.
