Glycemic control and physical function are supported by SKM capillarization and mitochondrial function, and their impairment contributes to T2D development. While high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a promising intervention, adherence and effectiveness remain concerns for prescribing HIIT among older adults at risk for T2D. Local heat therapy (LHT) may be a more practical initial strategy to improve SKM architectural factors and precondition SKM, enhancing physiological adaptations to exercise in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods and analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Heat and Exercise in Aging as Therapy (HEAT) is a two-phase, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial investigating the efficacy of LHT to improve glycemic control and decrease frailty risk via improved SKM architecture among older adults with prediabetes. LHT is tested as a standalone intervention and as a means to precondition SKM for subsequent HIIT, improving exercise adaptations. In Phase 1, LHT and sham (CON) groups apply heat pads for 90 minutes\/day, 6 days\/week, for 12 weeks. A separate HIIT group completes 4x4-minute cycling intervals at 90\u201395% VO\u2082peak, 3 days\/week. In Phase 2, LHT and CON groups begin HIIT. Participants (\u226550 years) have impaired fasting glucose (100\u2013125 mg\/dL) and\/or HbA1c (5.7\u20136.4%). Biospecimen collection and clinical assessments occur at baseline (T1), after Phase 1 (T2), and Phase 2 (T3). To our knowledge, this is the first study to determine the use of local heat pad on pre-diabetic older population. If successful, LHT may be a practical, scalable, non-invasive intervention to improve glycemic control and reduce frailty risk in older adults with prediabetes, preventing progression to T2D.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0351577","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T17:22:12Z","timestamp":1781544132000},"page":"e0351577","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of local heat on metabolic health, frailty risk, and exercise adaptations in pre-diabetic older adults: Protocol for the Heat and Exercise in Aging as Therapy (HEAT) clinical trial"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9194-7598","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hui-Ying","family":"Luk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Casey R.","family":"Appell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fangyuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jarrod","family":"Blinch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.
