Barriers to resistance exercise in people with type 2 diabetes are similar to those for aerobic exercise, with additional specific barriers.
Understanding barriers can help in designing interventions to promote resistance exercise.
ModerateSupportsmedium confidence
Current data indicate that barriers are similar to those reported for aerobic exercise, with additional resistance exercise specific barriers.
Why this rating
The claim is based on current data but lacks rigorous study design.
