Summary

This trial will study whether frequently interrupting sedentary time by performing multiple short bouts of physical activity throughout the day improves glycemia more than performing a single continuous bout of physical activity in sedentary men and women with overweight or obesity and prediabetes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for sedentary adults aged 18-64 with prediabetes, defined by specific glucose levels. Participants should have a BMI of 18.5-40, be non-smokers, and not on medications that affect weight or metabolism. They must do less than 150 minutes of exercise weekly and sit for over 6 hours daily.
What is being tested?
The study tests if short bursts of physical activity (5-min brisk walks hourly) are more effective in controlling blood sugar than one long walk daily in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. Both groups will perform their assigned activities five days a week for three months.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve moderate physical activity, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or minor injuries related to walking. However, these are generally mild and common when starting a new exercise routine.
