“…In a systematic review examining the effect of exercise on type 2 diabetes, Hamasaki and colleagues [ 36 ] reported that walking was the most common type of PA in people with T2DM. There is strong evidence that walking alone [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ] or walking plus other types of exercise [ 13 , 41 , 42 ] improves cardiometabolic markers and physical fitness in adults with T2DM. However, there were concerns raised by participants in this study, suggesting that they did not feel safe exercising outdoors after dark hours.…”

Despite a relatively low prevalence rate, sub-Saharan Africa bears a substantial diabetes burden. Physical activity (PA) plays a crucial role in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, PA levels among this population remain suboptimal. This study aimed to explore patients’ perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to PA participation among Ghanaian adults with T2DM. Thirteen adults with T2DM were recruited from Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, Ghana, for this qualitative descriptive study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Two overarching themes (personal factors and socio-structural factors) and 10 sub-themes relating to PA barriers and facilitators were identified. Participants had limited awareness of the recommended PA guidelines for T2DM management. Chronic illness-related factors hindered exercise participation. Difficulty differentiating between PA and exercise impeded the achievement of PA targets. Socio-structural barriers include concerns about social ridicule or embarrassment, safety during outdoor activities, a lack of culturally appropriate exercise facilities, and high social and work demands. Despite these barriers, participants were motivated by their understanding of the health benefits of PA. They emphasized integrating PA into daily routines through walking, work-related tasks, and household chores. Motivation and PA education from healthcare professionals are valued supports in achieving PA targets. Our findings showed that PA behaviour in Ghanaian adults with T2DM is influenced by both personal and external factors. Tailored PA interventions for this population should address identified barriers while leveraging facilitators to implement successful PA programs.

“…However, despite the benefits of exercise [13], most people, particularly obese people, find it difficult to practice, so walking is a simple, easy, and inexpensive way to exercise. Walking for 30 minutes three times a week is regarded as moderate exercise and can be used to reduce T2DM and depression [14,15].…”

Introduction.Diabetes is an important cause of mortality throughout the world. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by hyperglycemia and obesity, which are aggravated by a sedentary lifestyle. The consequences of long-term hyperglycemia include neurological or vascular complications and can lead to amputation, retinopathy, kidney failure, or other severe complications and a consequently poor quality of life. This study was conducted to report the effect of moderate exercise versus light exercise on fasting blood glucose in obese patients with T2DM. Methods. For three months, 60 patients with sedentary lifestyles aged 35 to 60 years were randomly assigned to one of two groups in this two-arm cluster randomized controlled trial. Group 1 received 30 minutes of treadmill walking at 40-60% of maximum heart rate. Group 2 was given 30 minutes of treadmill walking per day, divided into 5 minutes every 2 hours. Results. At the base line, no significant difference was found between both groups in BMI, waist to hip ratio, 6minutes' walk, fasting blood glucose and SF-36. After three months of treatment, there was no significant difference in BMI, p = 0.111, waist to hip ratio, p = 0.271, 6 minutes' walk, p = 0.614, blood glucose, p = 0.105, and SF-36, p = 0.106 between the two groups, despite the fact, that among each group significant differences for all analyzed parameters were observed. Conclusions. Repeated short walking has a similar effect on blood glucose, obesity, and quality of life as continuous long walking. Walking for 5 minutes every 2 hours may be a useful alternative for patients with T2DM.
