Multidisciplinary Counselling Intervention for the Medium-long Term Adoption of a Physically Active Lifestyle and the Reduction of Sedentary Behaviour in People With Diabetes Mellitus
This behavioral intervention study aims to assess physical activity levels and sedentary behavior among individuals with diabetes. It will compare the effectiveness of standard interventions against informational sessions on the benefits of physical activity for achieving changes in behavior and improving quality of life while reducing reliance on healthcare services.
Participants will be divided into 3 groups: one receiving standard care from the diabetology service; one attending three theoretical motor counseling sessions; another engaging in three theoretical motor counseling sessions plus practical counseling supervised by kinesiologist.
The primary objective is to evaluate physical activity levels at 6 and 12 months post-intervention. Secondary objectives include assessing sedentary time, health status, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, barriers to engaging in physical activity, motivation levels, dietary habits, readiness for lifestyle changes, perceived quality of life, and functional capacities.
Inclusion: diagnosis of T2DM of at least 3 months; age between 25 and 80 years; engagement in insufficient PA (< 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity PA, according to WHO guidelines); ability to walk independently; 18.5 < BMI (kg/m²) < 40.
Exclusion: the presence of severe cardiovascular, neurological, or musculoskeletal conditions that contraindicate PA; refusal or inability to provide written informed consent.
