Why is it important?
This study takes into account the predictive value of exercise self-efficacy, body satisfaction, stage behaviour change, age, and duration of diabetes on PA levels in older adults with T2DM.
Perspectives
Our results indicate that body satisfaction is a weak predictor of PA levels, compared to self-efficacy and stages of change. Moreover, the study gives further support to the hypothesis of a linear relationship between stages of change and physical activity levels.
