Impact of Acute Blood Flow Restriction Walking on Immune Cell Phenotype and Function in Adults withT2D
To conduct a randomized control trial to determine the impact of acute blood flow restriction treadmill walking on immune cell counts, function, and phenotype in adults living with type 2 diabetes.
Inclusion: Aged 19-64 years; Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with current HbA1c 5.7-9.0%; 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; Absolute contraindications to BFR (i.e., peripheral vascular disease); A self-reported diagnosis of low iron concentrations, anemia, or being treated for these conditions; A diagnosis of any red blood cell-altering condition (i.e., sickle cell anemia, poikilocytosis); Currently living with any cardiovascular disease, which would impact the ability to participate in exercise safely; Currently prescribed any medication which would impact the ability to use a heart rate monitor to accurately track intensity.
