Barriers to regular exercise among adults at high risk or diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this systematic review was to identify the reported barriers to regular exercise among adults either at high risk or already diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D), because of the importance of exercise in the prevention of T2D. We searched the MEDLINE, Cinahl and PsycINFO databases. All potentially relevant articles were reviewed by two researchers, and 67 titles were found, of which 13 papers met inclusion criteria. Internal and external barriers to exercise were identified among adults either at high risk of T2D or already diagnosed. Internal barriers were factors which were influenced by the individual's own decision-making, and external barriers included factors which were outside of the individual's own control. It is important for counselling to identify the internal and external barriers to regular exercise. In this way, the content of counselling can be developed, and solutions to the barriers can be discussed and identified. Further research on the barriers to regular exercise is needed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
