Resistance training protocol design study investigating mitochondrial function in older adults with and without diabetes.
This is a study protocol (not yet reporting results) examining whether a 6-week supervised resistance training intervention improves mitochondrial function and physical performance in approximately 120 participants: older adults with type 2 diabetes, healthy older adults, and young healthy controls. The study will measure changes in muscle strength, frailty, body composition, and detailed cellular assessments including mitochondrial function, muscle fiber morphology, gene expression, and gut microbiota.
