Increase in Daily Steps During the Early Phase of a Physical Activity Intervention for Type 2 Diabetes as a Predictor of Intervention Outcome.

摘要: This pilot study aimed to test whether increase in daily steps and day-to-day consistency during the first several weeks of a physical activity intervention predicted outcomes. was secondary analysis from two concurrent studies testing positive psychology-motivational interviewing affect individuals with type 2 diabetes. Steps were measured accelerometers at assessments (baseline, end-of-treatment, 8-week follow-up) throughout by participants using provided pedometers. We calculated change week 1 3, along variability over 3 weeks, best fitting regression line modeling their change. Multiple analyses tested these predictors associated end treatment follow-up. Additionally, we explored utility specific cutoffs (e.g., 500 steps) for early step minimum p-value approach. In 52 participants, larger increases 3 end-of-treatment Variability not Early 2000 may have practical relevance. response appears be useful predictor outcome could used identify those unlikely succeed given treatment.
