Study Protocol 
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the efficacy of a theory-
based resistance exercise intervention and a resistance band exercise 
training on the level of physical activity, muscle strength body 
composition, exercise self-efficacy, and exercise adherence in adults with 
type 2 diabetes.   
Methods: The study is a three-arm parallel randomized clinical trial. 
Participants were recruited from metabolism outpatient clinics. A total of 
90 adults with type 2 diabetes were recruited and randomly assigned to 
the theory-based resistance exercise group, the resistance band exercise 
training group, or the control group. All groups underwent a 12-week 
intervention program. The theory-based resistance exercise group 
received a 12-week motivational interviewing and self-efficacy based 
resistance exercise training. The resistance band exercise group received 
a 12-week resistance band exercise training. All participants were 
introduced to exercise three times a week and at least thirty minutes a 
day on alterative day. The control group received a brief exercise 
instruction. Data were collected at the pretest, 6th week, and 12th week 
on handgrip strength, 6 meters walking speed (6 MWS), 30 seconds sit to 
stand (30’ STS), self-reported physical activity, and exercise self-efficacy. 
The participants were asked to keep daily exercise dialog as well.
