Family Health Team High-Intensity Interval Training

Type 2 Diabetes

With the rapid shift to virtual care, this pilot study aims to determine the feasibility of prescribing low-duration, interval-based training through virtual care. If successful, this study will inform a larger randomized control trial to determine if the prescription of low-duration interval-based training improves chronic disease through the measurement of hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), and weight to a greater extent than the general guideline to aim for 150 minutes of PA weekly.
