Effect of BFR Training on Glycemic Control, Functional Activity and Quality of Life in Individuals With Pre-diabetes

Experimental group will be given aerobic exercises with blood flow restriction training. For first four weeks, aerobic exercise will be performed for 25 min with 60-65 % of the maximum heart rate reserve (MHRR). During second four weeks, time of exercise will be 30 min with intensity 60-65% of the MHRR, and for third four weeks, time will be increased to 35 min and intensity will be raised up to 70-75% of the MHRR. . Arterial occlusion of 60% will be achieved by Blood Flow Restriction apparatus. Total intervention protocol for this group will be given for 12 weeks of duration 4 sessions per week with total 48 sessions.

Active Comparator group will be given aerobic exercises. For first four weeks, aerobic exercise will be performed for 25 min with 60-65 % of the maximum heart rate reserve (MHRR). During second four weeks, time of exercise will be 30 min with intensity 60-65% of the MHRR, and for third four weeks, time will be increased to 35 min and intensity will be raised up to 70-75% of the MHRR. Total intervention protocol for this group will be given for 12 weeks of duration 4 sessions per week with total 48 sessions.

Participants will individually instruct to reduce total energy intake and increase physical activity, aiming at a 5% reduction in body weight. The participants will be given pamphlets providing general information on pre diabetes and dietary modifications. Total intervention protocol for the group will be given for 12 weeks of duration 4 sessions per week with total 48 sessions.
