About this trial

A randomized controlled clinical trial that will test how progressive resistance training will impact outcomes of sarcopenia in older patients with type 2 diabetes who have been diagnosed as sarcopenia. The intervention will be 12 weeks in duration with approximately 24 sessions of resistance exercises. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, 4, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.
