- aggregation title "Effects of interventions to promote daily physical activity in type 2 diabetes patients".
- aggregation abstract "Despite the fact that physical activity is of major importance and has many health benefits in type 2 diabetes patients, most patients in this population are not sufficiently active. The overall aim of this thesis was to provide insight in and investigate ways to increase physical activity in a Belgian type 2 diabetes population. Worldwide many physical activity interventions for type 2 diabetes patients have been developed and most of them showed promising short-term results, but data on long-term effectiveness using objective physical activity measurements were often lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to develop different physical activity lifestyle interventions for type 2 diabetes patients and to evaluate their short-, intermediate (≤ six months after the intervention) or long-term (> six months after the intervention) effectiveness by self-reported and objective physical activity measurements. Earlier studies showed promising results with regard to both feasibility and effectiveness of lifestyle physical activity interventions in a type 2 diabetes population. However, currently there is still vagueness about the optimal intensity, duration, delivery mode, and content of such interventions in order to obtain robust long-term effects. For the different physical activity interventions of this thesis, we developed an overall theory-based intervention framework. We made different adaptations of this framework and gave answers to the shortcomings of the current literature by means of those adaptations. Our results showed no clear effects on health outcomes of our interventions. Only a subsample of participants, who succeeded in increasing their steps/day with ≥ 4000 above their baseline levels, had a better glucose control. Our findings demonstrate however the utility of pedometer-based cognitive-behavioural programmes to increase physical activity and decrease sedentary behaviour in this population. Most workable factors of our interventions were social support, modelling and norm from family, relapse prevention and self-efficacy towards overcoming physical activity barriers. When delivering physical activity interventions for type 2 diabetes patients it is thus important to help the participants to create a social support network in their home environment. Moreover, they have to be supported and trained in their self-efficacy towards overcoming physical activity barriers and thus mastering how to cope with relapse. When aiming for behavioural effects, the most optimal lifestyle physical activity intervention in this specific study population is a long lasting, intensive intervention given by a motivated behavioural expert. From a health point of view, further research is necessary.".
