title: Predictors of physical activity in adults with type 2 diabetes.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine demographic, medical, social cognitive, and environmental predictors of aerobic physical activity and resistance training in a population sample of adults with type 2 diabetes.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two hundred forty-four (244) participants completed questionnaires with a 3-month follow-up. Multiple and logistic regression models examined predictors of aerobic activity and resistance training.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Several factors were associated with higher levels of both aerobic physical activity and resistance training; self-efficacy was the strongest predictor for both modes of activity.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The findings can guide physical activity promotion interventions and programs for this population, profiling those who are least active.
