Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the impact of physical therapist-directed exercise counseling combined with fitness center-based exercise training on stage of exercise behavior in people with type 2 diabetes.

Conditions

  • Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise counseling

Each participant in the experimental group receives 2 months of exercise counseling from the same physical therapist as described in previous research. In short, during each exercise counseling session, the physical therapist addresses the benefits of exercise for people with type 2 diabetes, advises each participant to adhere to the prescribed exercise program, and assists each participant by reviewing the prescribed exercise program. Exercise counseling is tailored to the stage of exercise behavior as described in previous literature. The experimental group is also provided access to a fitness center.

BEHAVIORAL

Supervised exercise training

Participants who are randomly allocated to the comparison group receive a 2-month supervised exercise program. Each participant in the comparison group receives the same prescribed exercise program as the experimental group and is supervised during each exercise training session by a trained co-investigator in a controlled exercise laboratory setting.
