Effects of an Exercise and Lifestyle Education Program for People With Diabetes and Prediabetes
Sponsor: Federal University of Juiz de Fora
Summary
The purpose of this trial is to pragmatically investigate whether participation of people with diabetes and prediabetes in an Exercise and Lifestyle Education Program (i.e., exercise and education classes) results in better functional capacity, disease-related knowledge and behavior, and cardiometabolic health parameters when compared to Exercise Program (i.e., exercise class only). In addition, the effects of these interventions will be evaluated on other outcomes: program adherence, satisfaction with the program, quality of life, diet quality, depression, and morbidity associated with diabetes in the 6-month follow-up.
