The study team want to see if changes in lifestyle and behaviors and self-monitoring of diet and physical activity in older adults who have type 2 Diabetes (T2D) may help to prevent or reduce frailty. Frailty occurs in older adults and leads people to have falls, become disabled, require nursing home placement, and have increased risk of death. T2D is one of the major risk factors for frailty. T2D is a significant problem in older adults and is known to increase the risk of future frailty.
NCT04403789
Background: The rising levels of physical inactivity in the Eastern Mediterranean region (43.2%) and in the United Arab Emirates (38%) compared with the global levels of physical inactivity (31.2%) is alarming (6,15). Therefore, action is required to reduce physical inactivity using evidence-based strategies. This study aims to provide scientific evidence that if the workplace environment promotes behavior change, physical activity levels could increase and, therefore, improve health. Objective: Primary objective: to determine whether the workplace exercise intervention will improve the cardio-metabolic risk components for the employees. Secondary objective: to determine whether the workplace exercise intervention will improve physical activity levels even after 4 weeks of completing the intervention. Methods: A total of 150 participants will be recruited from a semi-government telecommunication company after meeting the eligibility criteria; 75 will be assigned to the intervention group and 75 to the delayed intervention group. Intervention: The Intervention group will receive 2 hours of exercise per week during working hours for 12 weeks. One hour can be used per day. The intervention group will be assigned to attend personal trainer sessions in the workplace gym during the intervention. After the intervention is completed the delayed intervention group will also receive 2 hours of exercise time per week from working hours for 4 weeks. Expected results: There is a statistically significant difference in the primary and secondary health outcome between the intervention group and delayed intervention group. Expected conclusion: Increasing exercise time in the workplace is associated with favorable cardio-metabolic risk profile.
