Summary

This research trial studies the effect of an online, live and interactive strength training program on physical function and strength in older adults with prediabetes.

Detailed description

It is well established that in-person resistance training is an effective form of exercise to increase physical function and quality of life amongst adults. However, older adults report not participating in resistance training due to lack of age appropriate programs, fear of a gym setting, poor access to a gym, joint and other kinds of pain, and lack of social support. These barriers have been compounded as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, wherein older adults are encouraged to socially isolate, leading to even less physical activity. Vivo is a virtual small group exercise program designed for adults 55 and addresses these major barriers to strength training by coaching through an interactive online training session incorporating social support and social engagement. The investigators plan is to test a highly attractive technology platform specifically designed to meet the needs of older adults to demonstrate that resistance training exercise can be scaled and effective with diverse older adults and remove the barrier of having to go to a gym setting to see benefits. The investigators will test feasibility in a real world sample of adults ≥60 with prediabetes, a very prevalent, serious and often silent health condition that affects 1 in 3 adults in the US and is associated with high rates of sarcopenia, or loss of muscle mass. In the next study, Phase II NCT06458530, investigators will examine the effects of Vivo on physical function and glycemic level in sedentary older with prediabetes
