Summary

This single-arm pilot study aims to investigate the feasibility of a handball-based intervention to people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, including monitoring aerobic intensities and movement strategies during the intervention, and monitoring recruitment, adherence, and adverse events. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate the feasibility of a test battery including both physiological and patient-reported outcomes, and to investigate preliminary exercise effects.

Detailed description

Physical activity and exercise are known to be beneficial for increasing insulin sensitivity in skeletal muscle in healthy as well as in individuals with type 2 diabetes. But many patients who recently have been diagnosed with type-2 diabetes is often living a sedentary lifestyle and have poor adherence to physical interventions. High intensity interval training as well as team-based interventions has proven to be effectful in regulation of physiological parameters related to type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a handball-based intervention to people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
