ISRCTN ISRCTN23677189
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title The effect of a structured exercise program on oxidative capacity and mitochondrial (dys)function in type 2 diabetes
Scientific title A study on the training response of combined strength and endurance training in insulin dependent type 2 diabetic subjects with co-morbidity
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source P04.1659L (Dutch CCMO registration number)
Study hypothesis Exercise (partly) reverses mitochondrial dysfunction in patients with long-term type 2 diabetes and co-morbidity.

Patient information material Not available in web format, please use the contact details below to request a patient information sheet (Dutch only)
Target number of participants Group A: 12; group B: 12; group C: 12
Interventions Group A: usual care combined with a structured exercise intervention (3 times/week) for 12 months consisting of progressive resistance type of exercise combined with high-intensity interval type of endurance exercise.

Groups B and C served as control groups to enable a baseline comparison.
Primary outcome measure(s) Change in phosphocreatine recovery time constant (τPCr) as a measure of in-vivo muscle oxidative capacity as measured using 31 P NMR spectroscopy, measured at t = 22 weeks and t = 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention.
Secondary outcome measure(s) 1. Ex vivo mitochondrial density, quality and functioning in skeletal muscle (as measured through determining mitochondrial density (citrate synthase, mtDNA copy number) and ex vivo function and expression of Krebs cycle and OXPHOS related genes (measured at t = 11, 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
2. Change in maximal oxygen uptake capacity as measured on a bicycle ergometer (measured at t = 11, 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
3. Change in submaximal oyxgen uptake and heart rate (at 50% Wmax) on a bicycle ergometer (measured at t = 11, 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
4. Change in HbA1c and exogenous insulin use (measured at t = 11, 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
5. Change in markers for chronic inflammation (high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP], tumour necrotising factor [TNF]-alpha) and adipokines (adoponectin) (measured at t = 11, 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
6. Change in body composition (as measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry [DEXA]/magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], waist circumference) (measured at t = 11, 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
7. Change in muscle strength of upper and lower extremities (measured at t = 11, 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
8. Change in quality of life (36-item short form [SF-36]) (measured at t = 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
9. Change in activity level (Tecumseh questionnaire) (measured at t = 22 and 52 weeks following the beginning of the exercise intervention)
