Summary

To conduct a randomized crossover trial to determine the acute impact of low-intensity movement breaks on glycemic control in physically inactive individuals living with type 2 diabetes using continuous glucose monitoring.

Detailed description

Participants will perform two, 48-hour experimental conditions separated by 24 hours while wearing a continuous glucose monitor to measure glycemic responses. The order of the trials will be randomized for each participant. The two trials will include an exercise condition (EX) and a control, non-exercise condition (CON). During the EX trial, participants will perform four low-intensity movement breaks per day on two consecutive days (i.e., Monday and Tuesday). The movement breaks will each be 1-minute in duration and consist of stretching and mobility-based exercises. During the CON trial, participants will be asked to refrain from any structured exercise during two consecutive days (i.e., Thursday and Friday). All meals will be provided to participants during the two 48-hour trials and will be standardized for a given participant. There will be a one-day wash out period in between the completion of both trials for all participants.
