Accumulated Short Bouts of Walking in Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: Effects on Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR).
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to compare the effects of accumulated short bouts of walking versus 10,000 steps on HbA1c and HOMA-IR in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
Results Summary
The study investigated differences in glycemic control markers between accumulated walking bouts and 10,000 steps, but specific results were not detailed in the abstract.
Population

The current study examined the effects of accumulated short bouts of walking on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) of older adults with type 2 diabetes. Differences in variables between models of accumulated bouts of walking and 10,000 steps were also investigated. Sedentary participants (
