Influence of Exercise on the Gut Microbiome of Overweight and Obese Adults with Prediabetes

Recruiting

We are looking at how an 8-week exercise program of walking for 30-45 minutes 3 times/week affects the body. This study is for people who are prediabetic and overweight or obese. We will compare the exercise group to a group that didn’t participate in the exercise to see if there are differences in gut microbes, body measurements, and blood work.
