Key result
Stronger physical activity beliefs, including recovery self-efficacy, action and coping planning, and maintenance self-efficacy, explained 40.9% of the variance in physical activity performance.
Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate levels of beliefs, perceived benefits, and barriers regarding physical activity and identify factors linked to physical activity performance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.

Are beliefs, benefits, and barriers associated with physical activity performance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus?
Effect estimate: explained 40.9% of variance
Stronger physical activity beliefs, including self-efficacy and planning, are significantly associated with higher physical activity performance in patients with type II diabetes.
Associations between beliefs/barriers and physical activity in T2DM are hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed to guide interventions.
This study aimed to assess patients' levels of belief, benefits and barriers toward physical activity, and to identify factors associated with physical activity performance in patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study was carried out using cross-sectional correlation design. Subjects from the endocrinology and metabolism outpatient departments of a teaching hospital in northern Taiwan were recruited by consecutive sampling. A total of 149 patients with type II DM were recruited. More physical activity was associated with stronger physical activity beliefs, including recovery self-efficacy, action and coping planning, and maintenance self-efficacy, which explained 40.9% of variance in physical activity performance. Patient-centered physical activity programs (resistance exercise, daily walking, or Tai Chi exercise) can reduce patients' barriers toward performing physical activity.

Hsu et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Type II diabetes mellitus (n=149). Physical activity beliefs (recovery self-efficacy, action and coping planning, and maintenance self-efficacy) was evaluated on Physical activity performance (explained 40.9% of variance). Stronger physical activity beliefs, including recovery self-efficacy, action and coping planning, and maintenance self-efficacy, explained 40.9% of the variance in physical activity performance.
