Description: Context: It is estimated that over 220 million people worldwide have diabetes.1 Aerobic and resistance-based physical activity (PA) are key components for management of type 2 diabetes (T2D),2 ,3 yet most individuals with this disease remain insufficiently active to achieve health benefits.
