Population and applicability
Structured population data were available for 4 of 4 supporting studies. 3 studies described participants with type 2 diabetes. 2 studies described adult participants.
This population information refers to the materialized supporting studies available for review. Omitted support records remain part of the authoritative support accounting and are available through the audit experience.
View reported population descriptions
These descriptions are reported across the supporting studies; they are not a single synthesized population.
- Middle-aged men diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
- Individuals seeking to improve metabolic health through physical activity.
- Middle-aged patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
- Individuals looking to improve metabolic health through exercise.
- Adults diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
- Individuals with varying levels of baseline insulin resistance.
- Adults with prediabetes.
- Individuals looking to improve glycaemic control through exercise.
Limitations
- 2 supporting studies do not have a displayable topic-matched quantitative effect.
- Evidence uses heterogeneous comparison contexts: baseline_within_group, usual_care.
- 1 supporting study has high, serious, critical, unclear, or unavailable risk-of-bias information.
- 1 study contains conflicting p-value and significance fields; those significance claims are suppressed.
