ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a program called Vivo on physical strength and blood sugar levels in older adults who are sedentary and have prediabetes. The trial will last for 12 weeks and will compare the results of those participating in the Vivo program with a group that will not receive the program right away. Researchers will look at how many chair stands participants can do in 30 seconds to measure strength and will also check average blood sugar levels through a test called HbA1c.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 60 years old, live in the community, and have been diagnosed with prediabetes in the past year. They should also be able to do at least one chair stand but struggle to meet fitness standards for their age and gender, and they should not have engaged in resistance training for the last six months. Participants will need access to WiFi for the exercise sessions. If you or someone you know fits this description and is interested, this trial could be a great opportunity to improve strength and manage blood sugar levels while contributing to important research.
