About

This is a 12-week randomized, controlled trial that seeks to examine the effect of Vivo on 1) change in lower extremity strength defined as number of chair stands done in 30 seconds and 2) change in average glycemic level (HbA1c) compared to a wait list control.

Full description

This is a 12-week randomized, controlled trial that seeks to examine the effect of Vivo on 1) change in lower extremity strength defined as number of chair stands done in 30 seconds and 2) change in average glycemic level (HbA1c) compared to a wait list control. After informed consent and baseline assessments, up to 90 individuals will be randomized in one of two arms: 1) Vivo intervention or 2) waitlist control. Participants in the Vivo 2.0 intervention arm will meet virtually twice a week with their small group and certified trainer for 45 minutes over a 12-week period. Participants will be men and women, ≥60 years old, sedentary, with prediabetes and low function. All participants will undergo baseline and 12-week assessments

Enrollment: 74 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 60+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

74 participants in 2 patient groups

Vivo intervention

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will meet virtually twice a week for 12 weeks with their small group and certified trainer for 45 minutes.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Vivo

Waitlist control

No Intervention group

Description:

Participants randomized to this arm will be asked to maintain their baseline physical activity for 12-weeks. They will be scheduled for the baseline and 12-week assessment and following the 12-week assessment, they will be offered enrollment into Vivo.
