A Theory-based Home-based Multi-component Exercise Training Among Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Effectiveness of a Theory-based Home-based Multi-component Exercise Training Among Older Adults With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Study Protocol of a Sequential Mixed-methods Study
About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a theory-based home-based multi-component exercise training works to prevent sarcopenia in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It will also learn about the safety of the theory-based home-based multi-component exercise training. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Whether a 12-week theory-based home-based MCE program is effective in decreasing the risk of developing sarcopenia, as well as improving physical activity, glycaemic control, muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, cognitive function, depressive mood, and quality of life among the Chinese community-dwelling older patients with T2DM. * What are the underlying mechanisms of the exercise intervention. Researchers will compare the MCE program to a waiting list control group to see if the MCE program works to prevent sarcopenia. Participants will: · Take a MCE program or a waiting list for 6 months

Treatments Being Tested
a theory-based home-based multi-component exercise training
The participants in the intervention group will receive a 12-week theory-based home-based MCE program, which consists of three phases: exercise mobilization phase, exercise preparation phase (exercise instructions and exercise plan determination), and home-based autonomous exercise training. Structured guidelines have been developed for the intervention by the research team. This allowed interveners to deliver the intervention in a structured way with the same dosage.
