Summary

The aim of this study is to compare different non-pharmacological interventions in Type 2 diabetic people, testing their efficiency to improve metabolism and inflammation. The investigators will compare the effects of Heat Therapy (HT) and Strength training (ST), for 12 weeks, to test which one is more effective to improve participants health. Heat Therapy consists in submitting a person to an environmental chamber, initially set at 55 degrees Celsius on three non-consecutive days of the week. Each session will last 60 min. ST consists in supervised exercise in a gym on three non-consecutive days of the week. Each session will last \~60 min and will consist of a warm up, the resistance training and a cool down. All sessions will be conducted by qualified sport and exercise scientists for 12 weeks. A third group of people will stay sedentary without any other intervention for 12 weeks. Before, and after the end of the intervention blood samples will be collected to analyze metabolic parameters as well as inflammatory markers. The investigators hypothesize that ST and HT will reduce HbA1c levels, improve metabolic and inflammatory profile, dysbiosis, and the anti-inflammatory heat shock response (HSR).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Heat Therapy

Participants in the HT group will undertake whole body heat treatment according to previous methods. Participants will be housed in an environmental chamber initially set at 55.0oC on three non-consecutive days of the week during 12 weeks. Each session will last 60 min.

OTHER

StrengthTraining

Participants will perform supervised exercise in a gym on three non-consecutive days of the week. Each session will last \~60 min and will consist of a warm up, the resistance training and a cool down. All sessions will be conducted by qualified sport and exercise scientists for 12 weeks.

OTHER

Sedentary Control

Participants will not receive any intervention during 12 weeks.
