Funded Activity Summary

Australia has one of the highest rates of type 2 diabetes in the world, especially in older adults. A weight-lifting intervention could simultaneously improve glucose metabolism, physical fitness, blood pressure, cardiovascular disease risk, lipid levels, muscle mass, and fat mass, even without an overall change in body weight. We hypothesise that a high intensity weight-lifting exercise regimen will be associated with significant improvements compared to a low intensity regimen.
