Exercise Training in Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension

In brief

The coexistence of diabetes and hypertension is damaging to cardiac and peripheral vascular structure and function. Although several health organizations endorse exercise training as a treatment for type 2 diabetes, most studies of exercise and diabetes have focused on controlling blood sugar but not on cardiovascular health. The aim of this study is to determine if exercise training reduces blood pressure and improves cardiovascular health in persons who have both type 2 diabetes and hypertension. An equal number of men and women will be enrolled, and another aim of the study is to examine gender differences in response to exercise training.
