Summary

Goal: The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of Thera-Band elastic band-assisted progressive resistance training (PRT) in improving physical health and reducing frailty in older adults with diabetes mellitus (DM) complicated by frailty syndrome (FS).

Main Questions:

Does Thera-Band elastic band-assisted PRT lower blood glucose levels in patients with DM? Does Thera-Band elastic band-assisted PRT improve physical function, as measured by handgrip strength and gait speed, in patients with FS? If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the Thera-Band elastic band PRT group to the conventional treatment group to see if the PRT intervention leads to greater improvements in physical health and frailty status.

Participants will:

Undergo Thera-Band elastic band-assisted progressive resistance training for 12 weeks, attending sessions three times a week.

Complete assessments of their blood glucose levels and physical function before and after the intervention.

Provide feedback on their fatigue, psychological state, and any adverse reactions during the training period.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Thera-Band Elastic Band-Assisted Progressive Resistance Training

Thera-Band Elastic Band-Assisted Progressive Resistance Training: This intervention involves a structured exercise program using Thera-Band elastic bands for resistance training, conducted three times a week for 12 weeks. Each session lasts approximately 50 minutes and includes exercises targeting major muscle groups, such as upper arms, shoulders, chest, lumbar, and lower limbs. Participants will perform each exercise for 8-12 repetitions in 2-3 sets with 1-minute intervals, aiming for an intensity of 60%-80% of their maximum heart rate. The program is designed to improve strength, balance, and overall physical function, thereby reducing frailty in older adults with diabetes.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional Diabetes Management

Conventional Diabetes Management: Participants in this arm will receive standard care for diabetes management, which includes health education covering diet, medication adherence, exercise recommendations, and routine health monitoring. This arm serves as a comparator to assess the effectiveness of the progressive resistance training intervention.
