Adherence

People with type 2 diabetes have objectively lower physical activity levels and exercise capacity compared to the general population, with adherence to recommended exercise guidelines being significantly lower in diabetic and prediabetic groups.

Diabetics are significantly less likely to meet exercise guidelines than the general public. This gap is wider for resistance training. Recognizing this baseline deficit is crucial for setting realistic, incremental goals in intervention programs.

In particolare, only a limited fraction of the general population meets the recommended levels of aerobic physical activity, and individuals meeting the recommended levels of resistance physical activity are even less. Interestingly, there is further reduction in these proportions in subjects with prediabetes and especially in those with type 2 diabetes.
