  • Study compared high-intensity interval walking training (IWT) and moderate-intensity continuous walking training (CWT) in people with diabetes and lower extremity weakness.
  • No significant difference in knee extensor strength improvement between IWT and CWT groups.
  • IWT group showed significant improvements in gait speed and physical quality of life (QOL).
  • 50 participants were randomly divided into IWT and CWT groups, with both groups aiming for 120 minutes of walking per week over 5 months.
  • Study concluded that IWT improves walking ability and physical QOL but not muscle strength compared to CWT.
