Exercise training has consistently been shown to improve blood glucose control in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. Evidence from research studies now indicate that the timing of exercise in relation to meal consumption and across the course of the day can impact the blood glucose response.

Therefore, the School of Psychology and Exercise Science at Murdoch University are currently seeking volunteers who are interested in participating in a study aimed at determining whether 12 – weeks of exercise training performed either in the morning or evening can improve your blood glucose concentrations. 

We are seeking to recruit:

1. Adult males and females between the ages of 18-60 years old who
• Have an existing diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Sedentary lifestyle (<150 min of exercise per week)                                                 
2. Individuals who are able to:
• Visit Murdoch University Exercise Physiology Laboratory and Murdoch University Strength and Conditioning Laboratory
• Have no current injuries or conditions which may be made worse by exercise

As a participant, you will receive:

1. A free gold-standard fitness assessment
2. A gold-standard body composition analysis by DEXA scan
3. A chance to acquire new exercise techniques
