The findings demonstrate community-based PA interventions can be effective in producing increases in PA .
Our findings can guide future PA community-based interventions  in adult population s diagnosed with TD2
Evidence suggests engaging in regular physical activity ( PA ) can have beneficial outcomes for adults with type 2 diabetes ( TD2 ) , including weight loss , reduction of medication usage and improvements in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)/fasting glucose .
While a number of clinical -based PA interventions exist , community-based approaches are limited .
Multicomponent, home-based resistance training for obese adults with type 2 diabetes: a randomized controlled trial
Purpose : To investigate whether a home-based resistance training ( RT ) program that supplied high- quality equipment and qualified exercise specialists could provide benefits to obese patients with type 2 diabetes . Methods : A total of 48 obese individuals with type 2 diabetes were r and omly assigned to either an RT ( n=27 ) or a control group ( n=21 ) . Those in the RT group received a multigym and dumbbells and performed RT 3 days per week for 16 weeks at home . A qualified exercise specialist supervised training , with supervision being gradually decreased throughout the study . Primary outcome measures included strength and hemoglobin-A1C , whereas secondary outcome measures included other cardiovascular risk markers , key social-cognitive constructs and health-related quality of life . Results : Intention-to-treat analyses indicated a significant increase in upper and lower body strength for the RT group compared with controls ( 20–37 % mean increases in the RT group ) . No significant reduction in A1C levels was observed . The RT group had unchanged high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in comparison to declines in the control group . Significant reductions in fasting insulin , and increases in RT-related self-efficacy and intentions , were also observed in the RT group . Conclusions : Supervised home-based RT with high- quality equipment was effective for improving strength , along with other secondary outcomes in obese patients with type 2 diabetes
