Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Effects of eccentric resistance training on insulin sensitivity, blood lipid profile, glucose control, physical fitness, strength, cognition and quality of life in adults with Type 2 Diabetes. The exercise intervention will be divided into 2 groups, eccentric resistance training and concentric resistance training. Participants will participate in eccentric resistance training exercises twice a week (1 hour sessions each) for a period of 12 weeks with assessments/tests conducted at the start (baseline/week 0), mid (week 6 post training) and end of the intervention (week 12 post training). 8 different exercises (chest press, lateral pulldown, bicep curl, leg extension, leg curl, calf raise, abdominal crunch) will be performed using resistance training machines supervised by an accredited exercise physiologist at the Vario Exercise Clinic, Edith Cowan University Joondalup. The mode of administration is one-on-one at a level of progressive intensity commencing at low intensity (10% 1RM) increasing up to high intensity (100% 1RM). Participants will not be asked to perform additional exercise at home. Session adherence will be monitored via Excel spreadsheet attendance checklist.

Comparator / control treatment
Concentric Resistance Training Group.
The ECC group is commencing at 10%. The effects and outcomes measured in the eccentric resistance training group will be compared with a controlled concentric resistance training group. Participants will perform concentric resistance training exercises twice a week (1 hour sessions each) for a period of 12 weeks with assessments/tests conducted at the start (baseline/week 0), mid (week 6 post training) and end of the intervention (week 12 post training). 8 different exercises (chest press, lateral pulldown, bicep curl, leg extension, leg curl, calf raise, abdominal crunch) will be performed using resistance training machines supervised by an accredited exercise physiologist at the Vario Exercise Clinic, Edith Cowan University Joondalup. The mode of administration is one-on-one at a level of progressive intensity commencing at moderate intensity (50% 1RM) increasing up to high intensity (100% 1RM). Participants will not be asked to perform additional exercise at home. Session adherence will be monitored via Excel spreadsheet attendance checklist.

Statistical methods / analysis
All statistical analyses were performed using the IBM SPSS v27.0 statistical package (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Data analyses included standard descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA and correlation tests. Data was assessed by a Shapiro-Wilk test for normality and a Levene test for the homogeneity of variance assumption. Baseline values of each variable were compared between ECC and CON groups by an independent samples t-test. Changes over time for the outcome measures from baseline to post-intervention were compared between the groups by a repeated measures mixed-design two-way ANOVA, and their changes were compared between groups by independent t-test. In the case of a significant interaction (group x time) effect, a Tukey’s post-hoc test was performed to identify and compare the differences between groups for each time point. Effect sizes (ES) was calculated using Cohen’s d represented as ES = (MeanPost - MeanPre) / SDPre and was considered as small (d > .2), medium (d > .5), and large effect (d > 0.8). All statistical results are shown in mean ± standard deviation (SD) unless otherwise stated.

Summary
Brief summary
This study compared the effects of eccentric and concentric resistance training on diabetes markers, lipid profile, physical function, strength and body composition in patients with type 2 diabetes. Participants were randomly allocated to an eccentric or concentric group. Both groups performed supervised one-on-one resistance exercises consisting of eccentric-only contractions (5 seconds) or concentric-only contractions (1–2 seconds) of chest press, lateral pulldown, bicep curl, triceps extension, leg extension, leg curl, calf raise and abdominal crunch exercises , twice a week for 12 weeks. Outcome measures included blood markers, muscle strength, physical function and body composition were assessed pre intervention, mid intervention and post intervention.
