Impact of 6-Weeks of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Immune Cell Function and Bioenergetics in Adults withT2D
To conduct a randomized control trial to determine the impact of 6-weeks of blood flow restriction training on immune cell function and bioenergetics in adults living with type 2 diabetes.
Inclusion: Aged 19-64 years. B. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with current HbA1c 5.7-9.0% C. Completing <150 minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity per week.
Exclusion: Chronic musculoskeletal condition or recent (within 2 years) cardiovascular event preventing participation in exercise; Unstable type 2 diabetes medication of the last 3 months C. Absolute contraindications to BFR (i.e., peripheral vascular disease) D. A self-reported diagnosis of low iron concentrations, anemia, or being treated for these conditions E. A diagnosis of any red blood cell-altering condition (i.e., sickle cell anemia, poikilocytosis) F. Currently living with any cardiovascular disease, which would impact the ability to participate in exercise safely G. Currently prescribed any medication which would impact the ability to use a heart rate monitor to accurately track intensity.
