ASSIST Trial: Impact of Strength Exercise Volume on Insulin Sensitivity in Obese Adults
Overview
The ASSIST trial aims to investigate the effects of high- and low-volume strength exercise sessions on insulin sensitivity in obese adults, providing valuable insights for personalized exercise prescription.
Background
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by impaired insulin action, and acute strength exercise has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity. However, the impact of variations in exercise volume on insulin sensitivity remains unclear. This study seeks to address this gap by comparing high-volume (21 total sets) and low-volume (7 total sets) strength exercise sessions, as well as a control session with no exercise.
Practical Solutions and Value
By assessing psychological factors such as motivation, enjoyment, and self-efficacy, the trial aims to provide practical insights into the perceived barriers to high-volume strength exercise adherence. The results of this trial will inform personalized exercise prescription, particularly for individuals with time constraints or concerns about high-volume exercise.
