Cardiometabolic health (CMH) is an umbrella term encompassing risk factors of the cardiovascular and metabolic systems that contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Currently, each condition affects an estimated 1.2 million Australians. Exercise is a well-established management strategy for CMH, with Accredited Exercise Physiologists specialising in the delivery of exercise interventions for the prevention and management of cardiometabolic disease. This webinar will explore the research of Dr Kelly McLeod’s thesis, focusing on an investigation of exercise interventions for the management of CMH in older adults in research and clinical environments, including those made available through the Australian national health care scheme Medicare. The webinar will explore the thesis’ research which aimed to identify evidence-based features of exercise interventions that optimally improve CMH in older adults and to identify factors that optimise the delivery of and compliance to individualised exercise therapy in a community setting. Firstly, the outcomes of a systematic review and meta-analysis of the evidence for different exercise modalities for CMH in older adults will be explored. The meta-analysis showed that exercise modalities including high-intensity interval training, progressive resistance training (PRT) and a combination of the two improved CMH in older adults with cardiometabolic risk. This will be followed by an evaluation of a community Strength Clinic program within the UNSW Medicine and Health Lifestyle Clinic. The Strength Clinic analysis found moderate to high intensity whole body PRT at least once a week over 17 weeks improves muscle strength, blood pressure, and other health outcomes in older adults. This then helped to inform the development of the Diabetes Clinic project which the webinar will discuss in detail. This clinical trial was a Medicare funded group exercise physiology program for older adults with T2D, along with the outcomes of a focus group where older adults with diabetes provided their beliefs regarding their needs, barriers, and enablers for participating in a diabetes education and exercise program. The Diabetes Clinic was feasible and acceptable with participants attending, reporting enjoyment, and gaining improvements in secondary CMH outcome measures. This webinar will demonstrate the evidence base for exercise benefits on CMH implemented in community settings that is delivered by trained clinicians.
