Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control Group: Multimodal Exercise Program only  Participants in the control group will follow the same 12-week Multimodal Exercise Program (MEP) as the experimental group, including the same frequency (three sessions per week), structure, and progression of supervised (first 6 weeks) and unsupervised (final 6 weeks) sessions. The MEP similarly consist of warm-up, aerobic, and cool-down phases designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, and flexibility. However, participants in this group will not receive any specific dietary intervention and will be instructed to continue their usual eating habits. 
Intervention  Experimental Group: Multimodal Exercise Program with High-Protein Diet  Participants in the experimental group will receive a 12-week intervention comprising a Multimodal Exercise Program (MEP) in combination with a high-protein diet (HPD). The MEP will include 6 weeks of supervised and partially home-based sessions followed by 6 weeks of unsupervised home exercise, with sessions conducted three times per week. Each session will incorporate a structured routine consisting of a warm-up phase (e.g., heel digs, knee lifts, chest stretches), aerobic training (e.g., 45 minutes of walking), and cool-down stretches (e.g., cobra stretch, pigeon pose, and forward bend). The intensity of the exercises will be moderate and progress over time based on individual tolerance. Alongside the exercise regimen, participants will follow a prescribed high-protein diet composed of 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat, maintaining consistently throughout the intervention period to support metabolic health and muscle function.

Brief Summary  

This randomized controlled trial will examine the effects of a 12-week Multimodal Exercise Program (MEP), with or without a High-Protein Diet (HPD), on glycemic control in older adults (aged 60+) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Participants in the experimental group will receive MEP combined with an HPD (40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, 30% fat), while the control group will receive MEP alone. The MEP will consist of supervised and home-based sessions focusing on aerobic and flexibility exercises, conducted three times per week. The primary outcome will be HbA1c%, while secondary outcomes will include body composition, lipid profile, physical function, and quality of life. The trial will aim to determine whether the addition of a high-protein diet enhances the metabolic and functional benefits of exercise in older adults with T2DM.
