It is good practice to conduct a small pilot study before embarking on an expensive full-scale study.\n\nWhat? Around 150 minutes of aerobic exercise and around 150 minutes of resistance exercise per week are necessary to meet prevailing recommendations for adults with impaired glucose control. Around 120 minutes of indoor rowing per week might be a less time-consuming alternative to prevailing recommendations because indoor rowing involves a combination of aerobic and resistance exercise.\n\nWho? Twenty men and postmenopausal women aged 45-65 years with impaired glucose regulation, such as those with type 2 diabetes. Eligible volunteers will not have smoked in the last year, will not have exercised regularly in the last six months, and will not be taking any form of diabetes medication other than metformin. Eligible volunteers will have stable weight and a body mass index of 25-40.\n\nWhere and how? Before and after the exercise intervention, glucose control (postprandial blood glucose concentrations) will be assessed at Leicester Diabetes Centre and cardiac function (MRI) will be assessed at Glenfield Hospital. During the exercise intervention, participants will use an indoor rower three times per week for 12 weeks at Leicester Diabetes Centre. Participants will be taught how to row correctly and the duration and intensity will gradually increase. In order to inform the design of a full-scale trial, recruitment rate will be assessed, adherence will be monitored, and a third party will interview participants to find out if the intervention and assessments are feasible and acceptable.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '45 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.\n* Participant is willing to allow their general practitioner to be informed of any incidental findings.\n* Eligible men will be 45 to 65 years of age.\n* Eligible women will be 45 to 65 years of age and will be postmenopausal, defined as no menstrual period in the last 12 months.\n* Body mass index of 25 to 40 kg·m-2.\n* Stable weight, defined as self-reported weight change of less than 5 kg in the last six months.\n* Impaired glucose regulation, defined as impaired fasting glucose (fasting plasma glucose of 5.6 to 6.9 mmol·l-1), or impaired glucose tolerance (two-hour plasma glucose in the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test of 7.8 to 11.0 mmol·l-1), or haemoglobin A1C of 6.0% or greater, or type 2 diabetes (fasting plasma glucose of 7.0 mmol·l-1 or greater on two occasions).\n* Volunteers with type 2 diabetes will either be treatment naïve or will have been taking a stable dose of metformin for at least four weeks prior to study entry.\n* White European ethnicity. There are ethnic differences in cardiovascular disease risk and prevailing definitions of dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance and diabetes cannot account for these differences (Forouhi et al., Diabetologia, 2006, 49, 2580-8; Tillin et al., Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013, 61, 1777-86).
