5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of moderate versus high intensity exercise training on physical fitness and physical function in patients with type 2 diabetes. The research hypothesis is that high intensity exercise training will be superior to moderate intensity on such outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
